Description

Presenters in this session discuss advances in our understanding of hepatic hypoxia and its contribution to liver physiology and pathology. The concepts covered by thought leaders and content experts include an overview of hypoxia, regulation of liver zonation by hypoxia, and the central role of hypoxia in regulating the gut-liver axis. Presenters also address the role of hypoxia in hepatic conditions such as acute liver injury, liver fibrosis, steatosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objectives

  • Discuss transcription factors, mechanisms, and pathways that regulate liver hypoxia.
