Hepatitis C Virus RNA Persists in Liver Explants of Most Patients Awaiting Liver Transplantation Treated With an Interferon-Free Regimen
We assessed the presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA in liver explants from 39 patients awaiting liver transplantation who were treated with an interferon-free regimen and had undetectable serum HCV RNA at the time of liver transplantation. Interest… Continue reading

Mechanisms of Acetaminophen Hepatotoxicity: Do We Need JNK for Cell Death?
During the last decade, c-jun N-terminal kinase (Jnk) emerged as central player in the pathophysiology of acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury, especially in mice.1,2 Jnk activation and translocation of phosphorylated-Jnk (p-Jnk) to mitochondria w… Continue reading
