A dual-lobe strategy in living-donor liver transplantation: overcoming small-for-size graft limitations in an obese patient: a case report

Clinical Transplantation and Research
The primary goal of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is to optimize outcomes for the recipient while ensuring donor safety. However, there is a risk of small-for-size syndrome, particularly in obese patients, where graft weight might be ...

Autoimmune hepatitis and overlap syndrome among Alaska Native people: Prevalence, clinical characteristics, and remission

JGH Open, 2023
Background and Aim High autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and overlap syndrome (OS) prevalence have been previously documented among Alaska Native people. The purpose of this project is to report changes in AIH/OS prevalence over time, clinical characteristics,

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

A novel imaging index for predicting adverse progression in acute-on-chronic liver failure related to hepatitis B virus: the low erector spine index

BMC Gastroenterology, 2023
Background It is widely known that muscle mass influences the outcomes of many chronic diseases. Erector spine mass is a convenient parameter obtained from routine abdominal computed tomography (CT).

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Risk factor analysis and predictive model construction of lean MAFLD: a cross-sectional study of a health check-up population in China

European Journal of Medical Research
Aim Cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality rates are high in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). The objective of this study was to analyze the risk factors and differences between lean MAFLD and overweight

Use of skeletal muscle index as a predictor of short-term mortality in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure

Scientific Reports, 2021
Sarcopenia is a well-recognized factor affecting the prognosis of chronic liver disease, but its impact on acute decompensation underlying chronic liver disease is unknown. This study evaluated the impact of sarcopenia on short-term mortality in patients

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Heterogeneity‐induced NGF‐NGFR communication inefficiency promotes mitotic spindle disorganization in exhausted T cells through PREX1 suppression to impair the anti‐tumor immunotherapy with PD‐1 mAb in hepatocellular carcinoma

Cancer Medicine
Background The mechanism of decreased T cells infiltrating tumor tissues in hepatocellular carcinoma is poorly understood. Methods Cells were separated from the single‐cell RNA‐sequence dataset of hepatocellular carcinoma patients (GSE149614) for cell ...
