Renwei Jing, Xiaoli Zhou, Jingwen Zhao, Yushuang Wei, Bingfeng Zuo, Abin You, Quan Rao, Xianjun Gao, Rong Yang, Lu Chen, Zhen Lu, Qibing Zhou, Ning Zhang, HaiFang Yin – 5 February 2018 – Early detection and clear delineation of microscopic lesions during surgery are critical to the prognosis and survival of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a devastating malignancy without effective treatments except for resection. Tools to specifically identify and differentiate micronodules from normal tissue in HCC patients can have a positive impact on survival.

We have previously shown that liver cells can be transdifferentiated into beta‐like, insulin‐producing cells through ectopic expression of pancreatic transcription factors (pTFs).

Kenichiro Kobayashi, Takako Yoshioka, Jun Miyauchi, Atsuko Nakazawa, Nobutaka Kiyokawa, Toshiro Maihara, Ikuya Usami – 1 February 2018 – Liver fibrosis is a common complication associated with transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD) in Down syndrome (DS). The exact molecular pathogenesis that regulates disease progression is largely unknown. We recently found serum and/or urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1) as a novel biomarker of liver fibrosis.
