Emerging studies have suggested that the Hippo pathway is involved in the tumorigenesis of
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the key regulator of the Hippo pathway in liver …

The availability of direct-acting antiviral agents for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV)
infection has resulted in a profound shift in the approach to the management of this infection …

Sustained virological response (SVR) improves survival in post‐liver transplant (LT)
recurrent hepatitis C. However, the impact of SVR on fibrosis regression is not well defined …

Given the scarcity of donated organs and the frequency of death on the waiting list,
strategies that could improve the available supply of high‐quality liver grafts are much …

Breakthroughs in hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment and rising rates of intravenous drug use
have led to an increase in the number of organ donors who are HCV antibody–positive but …

The sustained virologic response and elimination of HCV is widely viewed as a true cure of
chronic hepatitis C as it associates with amelioration of histological liver damage and …

Background Whether achieving sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with
hepatitis C attains complete elimination of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is unknown, because …

Background Occult hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (OCI) is characterized by the detection
of HCV-RNA in non-serum reservoirs, such as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) …

Chronic HCV infection is characterized by several immunological alterations, such as the
accumulation of suppressor cells and of hyperactivated T lymphocytes. However, it is …

Background Interferon-free, direct-acting antiviral treatments can result in a sustained
virologic response in nearly 100% of patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Aims …
