Macrophage GHSR‐Foxo1 axis regulates CCl4‐induced liver fibrosis by promoting inflammation and TGF‐β1‐mediated HSC activation. GHSR activates PKA‐dependent phosphorylation of Foxo1 at serine 273, promoting macrophage pro‐inflammatory polarization to enhance the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines that damage hepatocytes, thereby inducing liver ...

Attacking the public health crisis of hepatocellular carcinoma at its roots
Abstract As the third most common cause of cancer‐related death worldwide with significant mortality rates in the United States, hepatocellular carcinoma has strong association with cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) with a growing at‐risk population from the rise in chronic liver disease from alcohol use and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Management of alcoholic hepatitis [PDF]
It is estimated that there are 8,500-7,000 deaths per year from alcoholic hepatitis and/or cirrhosis in the UK. There is evidence of alcoholic hepatitis on liver biopsy in 30-60% of inpatients with alcoholic liver disease. Many patients presenting with alcoholic hepatitis also have established cirrhosis at the time of diagnosis.

The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

Health disparities in chronic liver disease
Abstract The syndemic of hazardous alcohol consumption, opioid use, and obesity has led to important changes in liver disease epidemiology that have exacerbated health disparities. Health disparities occur when plausibly avoidable health differences are experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.
