Basic Science Symposium: Endothelial Cells Occupy Center Stage in Liver Diseases, Part 3—Endothelial Cells in Chronic Liver Diseases

Presenters in this symposium focus on the varied functions of liver endothelial cells (ECs). ECs are specialized cells increasingly recognized for their heterogeneity and their key role in liver diseases and carcinogenesis. Recent advances in the understanding of EC function were made possible with refined isolation techniques coupled with multiomics studies. Speakers review emerging literature that defines liver ECs beyond their role as vascular barriers to critical mediators in various biological processes under physiologic and pathologic conditions. 

Comprehensive CHB Testing: Quantitative & Qualitative HBsAg and Beyond

This session will explore the clinical significance of comprehensive biomarker testing in chronic hepatitis B (CHB), focusing on how quantitative and qualitative HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBV DNA testing can help offer more personalized care to CHB patients by characterizing disease phases, supporting better-informed treatment decisions, and improving monitoring strategies.

Patient Engagement as a HABIT: Hope in Action — Breaking Barriers, Impactful Transitions

This engaging, interactive session kicks off with an advocate leader hosting "Excuses Bingo," challenging participants to recognize and move past the barriers that hold us back. From there, we hear from a passionate leader in advocacy who shares a message of hope and empowerment. Leading medical experts then offer insights on hope through science, discussing breakthroughs across a spectrum of liver diseases. Finally, a diverse panel explores the shared struggles and victories across liver diseases, emphasizing impact, progress, and the unifying hope that connects us all. No matter the diagnosis, we move forward together—passing the baton toward a healthier future.
