The role of RIPK1 mediated cell death in acute on chronic liver failure
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is characterized predominantly by non-apoptotic forms of hepatocyte cell death. Necroptosis is a form of programmed lytic cell death in which receptor interacting protein kinase (RIPK) 1, RIPK3 and phosphorylated ...

Liver Anatomy: Microcirculation of the Liver [PDF]
Comprehension of the structural and functional characteristics of the hepatic microcirculation can help improve the design, planning, and practice of imaging-guided treatment for hepatic tumors and for portal vein embolization (PVE). The hepatic microcirculation derives dual blood supply from the portal vein and the hepatic artery.

Liver resections for liver transplantations
Split-Liver and living-related donor liver transplantation are the newest and both technically and ethically most challenging developments in liver transplantation and have contributed to a reduction in donor shortage. We report the technical aspects of surgical procedures performed to achieve a partial graft from a cadaveric and a live donor.
