Drop-out rate from the liver transplant waiting list due to HCC progression in HCV-infected patients treated with direct acting antivirals. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND & AIM: concerns about an increased hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence rate following directly acting antiviral (DAA) therapy in cirrhotic patients with a prior complete oncological response have been raised. Data regarding the impact of

Diagnostic performance of tumor markers AFP and PIVKA-II in Chinese hepatocellular carcinoma patients

Tumor Biology, 2017
Alpha-fetoprotein is an effective biomarker as an aid in hepatocellular carcinoma detection in many countries. However, alpha-fetoprotein has its limitations, especially in early hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis. Protein induced by vitamin K absence or

Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2: clinical, biological and genotype/phenotype correlation study of a cohort of 90 patients [PDF]

, 2009
Ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 (AOA2) is an autosomal recessive disease due to mutations in the senataxin gene, causing progressive cerebellar ataxia with peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar atrophy, occasional oculomotor apraxia and elevated alpha ...

15-Year-Old Patient with an Unusual Alpha-Fetoprotein-Producing Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumor of Ovary

Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2022
Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs) are extremely rare ovarian sex-cord stromal tumors. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) production by SLCTs is a rare event generally linked to the presence of hepatocytes or intestinal mucinous epithelium as heterologous ...

CHB‐Induced Immune Zonation Chaos Elicited LXRα‐mediated Lipid Metabolism Disorders in Kupffer Cells to Induce Cancer Stem Cell Formation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By profiling the spatiotemporal hepatic landscape of CHB mouse models, the originally peri‐portal localized KCs migrated to the peri‐central in a CXCL9‐CXCR3‐dependent manner, facilitating their interaction with HBV+ hepatocytes. The interaction promoted LMD in KCs through ASGR1‐induced LXRα degradation, which, in turn, induced CSC formation via Stat3 ...

Novel Vascularized Human Liver Organoids for Modeling Alcohol‐Induced Liver Injury and Developing Hepatoprotective Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study successfully engineered vascularized liver organoids (3HLOs) by co‐culturing human reprogrammed hepatocyte‐like cells (hrHLs) with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human umbilical mesenchymal stem cells (HUMSCs). Upon implantation, the 3HLOs established functional vascular anastomosis with the host circulation and ...

Disrupting the Formation of YAP Condensates Promotes the Activation of AMPKα to Inhibit the Progression of Primary Liver Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study systematically investigates the function and molecular mechanisms of YAP phase separation in multiple primary liver cancers. These findings provide novel insights into phase separation‐mediated primary liver cancer development and validate targeted disruption of this process as an effective therapeutic strategy for primary liver cancer ...
