Article Abstract
The latent viral reservoir (LVR) remains a major barrier to HIV-1 curative strategies. It is unknown whether receiving a liver transplant from a donor with HIV might lead to an increase in the LVR because the liver is a large lymphoid organ. We found no differences in intact provirus, defective provirus, or the ratio of intact to defective provirus between recipients with ART-suppressed HIV who received a liver from a donor with (n = 19) or without HIV (n = 10). All measures remained stable from baseline by 1 year posttransplant. These data demonstrate that the LVR is stable after liver transplantation in people with HIV. Clinical Trials Registration. NCT02602262 and NCT03734393.

Increased Plasma ST2 Levels Precede the Development of Severe Acute GvHD and Chronic GvHD After Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: The suppressor of tumorigenesis 2 (ST2) has emerged as one of the most promising biomarkers for predicting mortality of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) when measured at the onset of symptoms, but detailed time course studies are needed to understand the potential of ST2 as a risk marker of both aGvHD and chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD), potentially allowing pre-emptive adjustment of immunosuppressive treatment.
Procedure: We measured ST2 levels in 117 children undergoing standard hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before conditioning and at regular intervals post-HSCT.
Results: ST2 levels were significantly increased from Day +7 in patients developing aGvHD of any grade (no GvHD: 23.
Two-Decade Trends in MASLD and Its Complications in the Middle East and North Africa (2010-2021).

The Global NASH Council, Washington, DC, USA.
Background: The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is undergoing demographic shifts potentially increasing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its complications. We assessed MASLD prevalence and liver disease burden from 2010 to 2021.
Methods: Data from Global Burden of Disease (GBD), United Nations Population Division and NCD Risk Factor Collaboration covering 21 MENA countries were used for annual percent change (APC) trends per Joinpoint regression.
Serum Proteomic Profile Based on the TGF-β Pathway Stratifies Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, The Institute for Bioelectronic Medicine, Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research & Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Northwell Health, Manhasset, New York, USA.
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths, primarily due to late-stage diagnosis. In this multicenter study, our goal is to identify functional biomarkers that stratify the risk of HCC in patients with cirrhosis (CP) for early diagnosis.
Methods: Five thousand and eight serum proteins (Somascan) were analysed in Cohort A (477 CP, including 125 HCC).
Extracorporeal Photopheresis Stimulates Tissue Repair after Transplantation.

Laboratory for Transplantation Research, Department of Surgery, University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany.
Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is a safe and effective therapy with long-established indications in treating T cell-mediated immune diseases, including steroid refractory graft-versus-host disease and chronic rejection after heart or lung transplantation. The ECP procedure involves collecting autologous peripheral blood leucocytes that are driven into apoptosis before being reinfused intravenously. ECP acts primarily through in situ exposure of recipient dendritic cells and macrophages to apoptotic cells, which then suppress inflammation, promote specific regulatory T-cell responses, and retard fibrosis.

One of the major hurdles in solid organ transplantation is graft rejection, which must be prevented with lifelong general immunosuppression. However, modern maintenance immunosuppression is accompanied by serious side effects, such as an increased risk of infection and malignancies. The search for alternative therapies specifically controlling allogeneic responses is fueling renewed interest in extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP).
