Mladen I. Yovchev, Edward J. Lee, Waldemar Rodriguez‐Silva, Joseph Locker, Michael Oertel – 23 May 2019 – Because of their high regenerative potential, stem cells are an ideal resource for development of therapies that replace injured tissue mass and restore function in patients with end‐stage liver diseases. Using a rat model of bile duct ligation (BDL) and biliary fibrosis, we investigated cell engraftment, liver repopulation, and ectopic tissue formation after intrasplenic transplantation of epithelial stem/progenitor cells.

Alisa Likhitsup, Ammar Hassan, Jessica Mellinger, Frederick Askari, Gerald S. Winder, Naba Saeed, Christopher J. Sonnenday, Pratima Sharma, Robert J. Fontana – 22 May 2019 – Tobacco use has been associated with poorer outcomes after liver transplantation (LT). Our study examined the effect on LT listing outcomes of a newly implemented policy prohibiting the use of all tobacco products compared with a prior restrictive policy.

Daniel J. Firl, Kazunari Sasaki, John McVey, Vera Hupertz, Kadakkal Radhakrishnan, Masato Fujiki, Bijan Eghtesad, Charles M. Miller, Cristiano Quintini, Koji Hashimoto – 22 May 2019 – This study estimated the utility of technical variant grafts (TVGs), such as split/reduced liver transplantation (SRLT) and living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), in pediatric acute liver failure (PALF). PALF is a devastating condition portending a poor prognosis without liver transplantation (LT).
