Sauer, Nathanael Raschzok – 20 October 2018 – Normothermic ex vivo liver machine perfusion might be a superior preservation strategy for liver grafts from extended criteria donors. However, standardized small animal models are not available for basic research on machine perfusion of liver grafts.

Gonzalez, Bernard Fischbach, Ranjeeta Bahirwani, Michael Emmett, Goran Klintmalm – 19 October 2018 – Estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with liver disease is suboptimal in the presence of renal dysfunction. We developed a model for GFR assessment in liver disease (GRAIL) before and after liver transplantation (LT).

Yongyan Chen, Xiaolei Hao, Rui Sun, Haiming Wei, Zhigang Tian – 17 October 2018 – Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major risk factor for development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), at least partially due to dysfunctional anti‐HBV adaptive immunity; however, the role of innate immune response to HBV in this process is not well understood.

Alberto Larghi, Andrea Tringali, Mihai Rimbaş, Federico Barbaro, Vincenzo Perri, Gianenrico Rizzatti, Antonio Gasbarrini, Guido Costamagna – 17 October 2018 – Biliary strictures represent some of the most frequent complications encountered after orthotopic liver transplantation. They comprise an array of biliary abnormalities with variations in anatomical location, clinical presentation, and different pathogenesis.
