Bracke, Christophe Casteleyn, Bart Jonckx, Thomas Horvatits, Valentin Fuhrmann, Hans Van Vlierberghe, Christophe Van Steenkiste, Lindsey Devisscher, Isabelle Colle – 10 October 2017 – Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a severe complication of cirrhosis with increased risk of mortality. Pulmonary microvascular alterations are key features of HPS; but underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood, and studies on HPS are limited to rats.

Louise Barbier, Maxime Ronot, Béatrice Aussilhou, François Cauchy, Claire Francoz, Valérie Vilgrain, Olivier Soubrane, Valérie Paradis, Jacques Belghiti – 10 October 2017 – In patients with polycystic liver disease (PLD), development of cysts induces hepatic venous outflow obstruction (HVOO) and parenchymal modifications, challenging the paradigm of a normal noncystic liver parenchyma.

Zhou Lu, Jiajing Liu, Xiaoming Liu, Enyu Huang, Jiao Yang, Jiawen Qian, Dan Zhang, Ronghua Liu, Yiwei Chu – 10 October 2017 – Interleukin‐22 (IL‐22), as a link between leukocytic and nonleukocytic cells, has gained increasing attention for its pronounced tissue‐protective properties. MicroRNAs, emerging as crucial immune modulators, have been reported to be involved in the production and action of various cytokines. However, the precise control of IL‐22 by microRNAs and its subsequent actions remained to be elucidated.

Nejak‐Bowen, Prithu Sundd, Satdarshan Pal Monga – 10 October 2017 – β‐Catenin, the downstream effector of the Wnt signaling, plays important roles in hepatic development, regeneration, and tumorigenesis. However, its role at hepatocyte adherens junctions (AJ) is relatively poorly understood, chiefly due to spontaneous compensation by γ‐catenin.

Nathanson, Jittima Weerachayaphorn – 10 October 2017 – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent liver disease worldwide. It may result in several types of liver problems, including impaired liver regeneration (LR), but the mechanism for this is unknown.
