TLDR
G-CSF therapy more than doubles the percentage of patients with ACLF who survive for 2 months; it also significantly reduces CTP, MELD, and SOFA scores and prevents the development of sepsis, hepatorenal syndrome, and hepatic encephalopathy.

EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines for the management of patients with decompensated cirrhosis

TL;DR: The panel of experts, having emphasised the importance of initiating aetiologic treatment for any degree of hepatic disease at the earliest possible stage, extended its work to all the complications of cirrhosis which had not been covered by the European Association for the Study of the Liver guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute-on chronic liver failure

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the current understanding of acute-on-chronic liver failure from the clinical, prognostic and pathophysiological perspectives and indicate potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for intervention.

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor to harvest circulating haemopoietic stem cells for autotransplantation

TL;DR: The rapid haematological recovery made possible by this approach promises to increase the therapeutic index of high-dose chemoradiotherapy regimens and to widen their role as treatment for chemoradiosensitive tumours.
Journal ArticleDOI

G-CSF Is an Essential Regulator of Neutrophil Trafficking from the Bone Marrow to the Blood

TL;DR: It is shown that under basal conditions granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is an essential regulator of neutrophil release from the bone marrow, and evidence is provided suggesting that downregulation of stromal cell-derived factor 1 expression in theBone marrow may represent such a signal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneity and plasticity of hepatocyte lineage cells

TL;DR: Experimental models of liver injury and of hepatocarcinogenesis may call forth a cellular response at different levels in the hepatic lineage, and these cells have different potential to form cells of other types (plasticity).
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasticity of bone marrow-derived stem cells.

TL;DR: The literature that lends credibility to the theory that highly plastic BMCs have a role in maintenance and repair of nonhematopoietic tissue is reviewed and the possible mechanisms by which this may occur are discussed.
