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.

Abraldes, Jose Altamirano, Ramon Bataller – 16 October 2018 – Risk of alcoholic cirrhosis is determined by genetic and environmental factors. We aimed to investigate if climate has a causal effect on alcohol consumption and its weight on alcoholic cirrhosis. We collected extensive data from 193 sovereign countries as well as 50 states and 3,144 counties in the United States.

Helene Gellert‐Kristensen, Nawar Dalila, Sune Fallgaard Nielsen, Børge Grønne Nordestgaard, Anne Tybjærg‐Hansen, Stefan Stender – 16 October 2018 – Gallstone disease is a common complex disease that confers a substantial economic burden on society. The genetic underpinnings of gallstone disease remain incompletely understood. We aimed to identify genetic associations with gallstone disease using publicly available data from the UK Biobank and two large Danish cohorts.
