Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating microRNAs in patients with chronic hepatitis C and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

TL;DR: Serum levels ofmiR-34a and miR-122 may represent novel, noninvasive biomarkers of diagnosis and histological disease severity in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection or non-alcoholic fatty-liver disease (NAFLD).
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for an alternative fatty acid desaturation pathway increasing cancer plasticity

TL;DR: In several human and mouse cancer cell lines and carcinomas, a sapienate biosynthesis pathway underpins metabolic plasticity by allowing these cells to bypass stearoyl-CoA desaturase-dependent fatty acid desaturation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence and Predictors of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Patients With Cirrhosis

TL;DR: 6 important predictors of hepatocellular carcinoma have been identified in multivariate models (including relatively novel predictors such as increased body mass index, HBV core antibody, and low platelet count), which suggest a means of predicting the risk of hepatitis C virus infection in patients with cirrhosis and optimizing surveillance strategies.
