Background: Posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) is the leading cause of mortality in patients undergoing hepatectomy. However, practical models for accurately predicting the risk of PHLF are lacking. This study aimed to develop precise prediction models for clinically significant PHLF.

Objective: Amino acid (AA) metabolism plays a vital role in liver regeneration. However, its measuring utility for post-hepatectomy liver regeneration under different conditions remains unclear. We aimed to combine machine learning (ML) models with AA metabolomics to assess liver regeneration in health and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Sterol regulatory element binding transcription factors (SREBPs) play a crucial role in lipid homeostasis. They are processed and transported to the nucleus via COPII, where they induce the expression of lipogenic genes. COPII maintains the homeostasis of organelles and plays an essential role in the protein secretion pathways in eukaryotes.

Objective: To compare the effects of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) on the short-term and long-term outcomes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with and without clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH).

Methods: A systematic literature search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases was performed for articles published from inception to March 1, 2023. Meta-analysis of surgical and oncological outcomes was performed using a random effects model.

Objective: How different surgical procedures, including the robotic-assisted liver resection (RLR) and laparoscopic liver resection (LLR), can affect the prognosis of patients with liver malignancies is unclear. Thus, in this study, we compared the effects of RLR and LLR on the surgical and oncological outcomes in patients with liver malignancies through propensity score-matched cohort studies.

Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched using Medical Subject Headings terms and keywords from inception until May 31, 2023.

The role of lncRNAs in the regeneration of fibrotic liver is unclear. To address this issue, we established a 70% hepatectomy model of liver fibrosis in mice, used high-throughput sequencing technology to obtain the expression profiles of lncRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs, and constructed a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network. A total of 1329 lncRNAs, 167 miRNAs, and 6458 mRNAs were differentially expressed.

Background: Non-coding RNAs play important roles in liver regeneration; however, their functions and mechanisms of action in the regeneration of fibrotic liver have not been elucidated. We aimed to clarify the expression patterns and regulatory functions of lncRNAs, circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in the proliferative phase of fibrotic liver regeneration.

Methods: Based on a mouse model of liver fibrosis with 70% hepatectomy, whole-transcriptome profiling was performed using high-throughput sequencing on samples collected at 0, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h after hepatectomy.

A hexanucleotide repeat expansion (GGGGCC) is the most common genetic origin of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Haploinsufficiency of C9orf72 has been proposed as a possible disease mechanism (loss-of-function mechanism). Additionally, the aberrantly activated unfolded protein response (UPR) and stress granule (SG) formation are associated with the etiopathology of both ALS and FTD.
