Zhou Zhou, Ting Jie Ye, Gregory Bonavita, Michael Daniels, Noah Kainrad, Alvin Jogasuria, Min You – 12 March 2019 – Lipin‐1 is a Mg2+‐dependent phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase involved in the generation of diacylglycerol during synthesis of phospholipids and triglycerides. Ethanol‐mediated inhibitory effects on adipose‐specific lipin‐1 expression were associated with experimental steatohepatitis in rodents.

Eva Román, Juan Camilo Nieto, Cristina Gely, Sílvia Vidal, Marta Pozuelo, Maria Poca, Cándido Juárez, Carlos Guarner, Chaysavanh Manichanh, Germán Soriano – 12 March 2019 – Probiotics can modulate gut microbiota, intestinal permeability, and immune response and could therefore improve cognitive dysfunction and help avoid potential consequences, such as falls, in patients with cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a multistrain probiotic on cognitive function, risk of falls, and inflammatory response in patients with cirrhosis.

Felicity Rhian Williams, Alice Vallance, Thomas Faulkner, Jennifer Towey, Simon Durman, Derek Kyte, Ahmed Mohamed Elsharkawy, Thamara Perera, Andrew Holt, James Ferguson, Janet M. Lord, Matthew James Armstrong – 11 March 2019 – Frailty is associated with increased mortality both before and after liver transplantation (LT). There are no standardized exercise programs, in particular home‐based exercise programs (HBEPs), for patients awaiting LT. The aim was to investigate the feasibility of such a program in patients awaiting LT.

Jiatao Liu, Lulu Fan, Hanqing Yu, Ju Zhang, Yong He, Dechun Feng, Fang Wang, Xiaoqiu Li, Qingqing Liu, Yuhuan Li, Zhenli Guo, Bin Gao, Wei Wei, Hua Wang, Guoping Sun – 10 March 2019 – Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress promotes tumor cell escape from immunosurveillance. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. We hypothesized that ER stress induces hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells to release exosomes, which attenuate antitumor immunity by modulating the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) in macrophages.
