Victor Navarro, Bharathi Avula, Ikhlas Khan, Manisha Verma, Leonard Seeff, Jose Serrano, Andrew Stolz, Robert Fontana, Jawad Ahmad – 3 April 2019 – The U.S. Drug Induced Liver Injury Network assayed the contents of herbal and dietary supplements collected from patients enrolled into its prospective study. The aim was to determine the accuracy of product labels, and to identify known hepatotoxins. Using high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry to assay 272 product, 51% were found to be mislabeled; that is, to have chemical contents that did not match the label.

This study analyzed gene expression and DC function in hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients, functions impaired because of HBV, and identified the genes related to these functions.

Akiko Eguchi, Hiroshi Hasegawa, Motoh Iwasa, Yasuyuki Tamai, Keiichi Ohata, Tsuyoshi Oikawa, Takeshi Sugaya, Yoshiyuki Takei – 2 April 2019 – Liver‐type fatty acid–binding protein (L‐FABP) is a key regulator of fatty acid metabolism, but serum L‐FABP levels are not well investigated in chronic liver diseases. We aimed to elucidate the prognostic ability of serum L‐FABP in human chronic liver diseases and compare it with the albumin‐bilirubin (ALBI) score.

Mariusz Bral, Khaled Dajani, Dayne Leon Izquierdo, David Bigam, Norman Kneteman, Carlo D. L. Ceresa, Peter J. Friend, A. M. James Shapiro – 2 April 2019 – Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) has been shown to protect livers from injury between procurement and transplantation in a randomized controlled trial, where the machine was transported to and from the donor center. The aim of this study was to determine whether an alternative, more practical back‐to‐base approach after initial static cold storage would compromise beneficial outcomes.

Shao‐Lai Zhou, Dan Yin, Zhi‐Qiang Hu, Chu‐Bin Luo, Zheng‐Jun Zhou, Hao‐Yang Xin, Xin‐Rong Yang, Ying‐Hong Shi, Zheng Wang, Xiao‐Wu Huang, Ya Cao, Jia Fan, Jian Zhou – 1 April 2019 – Tumor‐associated neutrophils (TANs) play a crucial role in tumor development and progression in the cancer microenvironment. Despite increased understanding of TAN contributions to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression and prognosis, the direct interaction between TANs and HCC cells is not fully understood.
