Objectives: To review the current indications for liver transplantation (LT) in cirrhosis, including evolving criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and other malignancies, how donor organ allocation is established, and to address challenges of long-term complications post-transplantation.
Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to evaluate advancements in LT indications, pretransplant evaluation protocols, organ allocation strategies, and management approaches for long-term post-transplant complications.
Results: Liver transplantation remains the definitive treatment for cirrhosis and offers substantial survival benefits for patients with early-stage HCC.

Over the last decade, multiple clinical trials have demonstrated a survival benefit for liver transplantation in colorectal cancer with liver metastases. Additionally, advances in donor organ preservation have expanded organ availability affording the opportunity to expand indications for liver transplantation, such as colorectal cancer with unresectable liver metastases. Current data support comparable overall survival (OS) for liver transplantation for colorectal cancer with liver metastases compared with general liver transplantation recipients.

Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a common chronic liver disease caused by long-term excessive alcohol consumption and responsible for more than half of all liver-related deaths worldwide. The molecular mechanisms associated with ALD were not fully understood. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing on liver tissues obtained from ALD patients and healthy liver donors.

CRISPR-Cas9 technology has revolutionized genetic engineering, offering precise and efficient genome editing capabilities. This review explores the application of CRISPR-Cas9 for cystic fibrosis (CF), particularly targeting mutations in the CFTR gene. CF is a multiorgan disease primarily affecting the lungs, gastrointestinal system (e.

Objective: To report outcomes from routine clinical practice of liver transplantation (LT) following normothermic liver machine perfusion (NLMP) and compare to LT after static cold storage (SCS).
Background: NLMP is emerging as a clinical routine in LT as has recently received renewed attention, however outcomes outside of clinical trials are lacking.
Methods: All adult LT between February 2018 and January 2023 were included.
