Background: The futility of liver transplantation in elderly recipients remains under debate in the HCV eradication era.
Methods: The aim was to assess the effect of older age on outcome after liver transplantation. We used the ELTR to study the relationship between recipient age and post-transplant outcome.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are prevalent liver conditions that underlie the development of life-threatening cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer. Chronic necro-inflammation is a critical factor in development of NASH, yet the cellular and molecular mechanisms of immune dysregulation in this disease are poorly understood. Here, using single-cell transcriptomic analysis, we comprehensively profiled the immune composition of the mouse liver during NASH.

- - The text discusses the establishment of a specialized liver surgery program at a university hospital aimed at addressing the increasing demand for liver operations and training future surgeons.
- - The program led to a significant rise in liver resections (up 36%) and complex cases, as well as improvements in opportunities for residents and young faculty, notably a 5.5-fold increase in highly complex resections and a 6-fold rise in academic publications.
- - While the program increased surgical complexity and morbidity, it did not raise mortality rates, indicating its effectiveness in meeting community needs and enhancing surgical training.
