Marco Sanduzzi‐Zamparelli, Álvaro Díaz‐Gonzalez, María Reig – 13 October 2018 – The principal advancements in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are the use of new systemic treatments, such as lenvatinib in first‐line treatment and regorafenib, cabozantinib, and ramucirumab in second‐line treatment, because of their benefits in terms of overall survival. In addition, nivolumab as a second‐line agent was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2017 based on improved radiological response data.

Dominique Debray, Haquima El Mourabit, Fatiha Merabtene, Loïc Brot, Damien Ulveling, Yves Chrétien, Dominique Rainteau, Ivan Moszer, Dominique Wendum, Harry Sokol, Chantal Housset – 10 October 2018 – The most typical expression of cystic fibrosis (CF)–related liver disease is a cholangiopathy that can progress to cirrhosis. We aimed to determine the potential impact of environmental and genetic factors on the development of CF‐related cholangiopathy in mice.

Axelle Cooreman, Raf Van Campenhout, Steven Ballet, Pieter Annaert, Bert Van Den Bossche, Isabelle Colle, Bruno Cogliati, Mathieu Vinken – 9 October 2018 – Connexin proteins are the building blocks of hemichannels, which dock further between adjacent cells to form gap junctions. Gap junctions control the intercellular exchange of critical homeostasis regulators. By doing so, gap junctions control virtually all aspects of the hepatic life cycle.

Adrian P. Mansini, Estanislao Peixoto, Sujeong Jin, Seth Richard, Sergio A. Gradilone – 9 October 2018 – Cholangiocytes, the epithelial cells lining the biliary tree in the liver, express primary cilia that can detect several kinds of environmental signals and then transmit this information into the cell. We have reported that cilia are significantly reduced in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and that the experimental deciliation of normal cells induces a malignant‐like phenotype with increased proliferation, anchorage‐independent growth, invasion, and migration.

Eunkyong Ko, Hyun‐Wook Seo, Eun Sun Jung, Soomi Ju, Baek‐hui Kim, Hyeki Cho, Yoon Jun Kim, Young Min Park, Jong‐Seo Kim, Guhung Jung – 9 October 2018 – Class I phosphoinositide 3‐kinase (PI3K) signaling is a major pathway in human cancer development and progression. Among the four PI3K isoforms, PI3Kα and PI3Kβ are ubiquitously expressed, whereas PI3Kγ and PI3Kδ are found primarily in leukocytes. Until now, PI3K targeting in solid tumors has focused on inhibiting PI3Kα‐mediated and PI3Kβ‐mediated cancer cell–intrinsic PI3K activity. The role of PI3Kδ in solid tumors is unknown.
