Interleukin-22 predicts severity and death in advanced liver cirrhosis: a prospective cohort study [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Interleukin-22 (IL-22), recently identified as a crucial parameter of pathology in experimental liver damage, may determine survival in clinical end-stage liver disease.

Inhibitory effects of HNF4α on migration/maltransformation of hepatic progenitors: HNF4α-overexpressing hepatic progenitors for liver repopulation

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2017
Background Although they are expandable in vitro, hepatic progenitors are immature cells and share many immunomarkers with hepatocellular carcinoma, raising potential concerns regarding maltransformation after transplantation. This study investigated the

Mesenchymal stem cells protect against acetaminophen hepatotoxicity by secreting regenerative cytokine hepatocyte growth factor

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2022
Background Acetaminophen (APAP) overdose is a major cause of the morbidity of acute liver failure. The current clinically approved treatment for APAP poisoning, N-acetylcysteine (NAC), has a limited therapeutic window, and prolonged treatment with NAC ...

Exploring novel prognostic biomarkers and biologic processes involved in NASH, cirrhosis and HCC based on survival analysis using systems biology approach [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
There is an unmet need to develop medications or drug combinations which can stop advancement of NASH to liver cirrhosis and HCC. Therefore, identifying key biomarkers based on overall survival and the exploring biological processes involved in the pathogenesis and progression of NASH toward cirrhosis and HCC to improve therapeutic interventions is ...

Learning to diagnose cirrhosis from radiological and histological labels with joint self and weakly-supervised pretraining strategies [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Identifying cirrhosis is key to correctly assess the health of the liver. However, the gold standard diagnosis of the cirrhosis needs a medical intervention to obtain the histological confirmation, e.g. the METAVIR score, as the radiological presentation can be equivocal.
