GS-4774 is a heat-inactivated, yeast-based, T-cell vaccine designed to elicit hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific T-cell responses. We evaluated the safety, tolerability and efficacy of GS-4774 in patients with chronic HBV infection.

Chronic outcome following acute idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is not yet defined. This prospective, long-term follow-up study aimed to analyze time to liver enzyme resolutions to establish the best definition and risk factors of DILI chronicity.

Biliary Atresia and other cholestatic childhood diseases are rare conditions affecting the function and/or anatomy along the canalicular-bile duct continuum, characterised by onset of persistent cholestatic jaundice during the neonatal period.

Regulatory T cells (Treg) suppress T effector cell proliferation and maintain immune homeostasis. Autoimmune liver diseases persist despite high frequencies of Treg in the liver, suggesting that the local hepatic microenvironment might affect Treg stability, survival, and function. We hypothesized that interactions between Treg and endothelial cells during recruitment and then with epithelial cells within the liver affect Treg stability, survival, and function.

In smaller single-center studies, patients with cirrhosis are at a high readmission risk, but a multicenter perspective study is lacking. We evaluated the determinants of 3-month readmissions among inpatients with cirrhosis using the prospective 14-center North American Consortium for the Study of End-Stage Liver Disease cohort.

PURPOSE:Patterns of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) -negative, antihepatitis B core antigen antibody (anti-HBc) -positive patients with lymphoma receiving rituximab-containing chemotherapy have not been well described.

Chronic liver diseases (CLDs) impose a significant socioeconomic burden on patients and the healthcare system, but to what extent remains underexplored. We estimated costs and health-related-quality-of-life (HRQoL) among patients with CLDs at different stages and with different aetiologies.

The non-classical human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G), plays an important role in inducing tolerance, through its immunosuppressive effects on all types of immune cells. Immune tolerance is a key issue in the liver, both in liver homeostasis and in the response to liver injury or cancer.

Cancer cells possess a unique metabolic phenotype that allows them to preferentially utilize glucose through aerobic glycolysis. This phenomenon is referred to as the "Warburg effect."

Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is widely used as an effective first-line therapy for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. While TDF demonstrates successful viral suppression, it has been linked to the development of renal proximal tubular (PT) dysfunction, leading to Fanconi syndrome.
