The pathogenic mechanisms of accelerated graft fibrosis in hepatitis C recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) are not well established. The aim of the study was to assess whether a greater activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSC), the major collagen-producing cells in the liver, can occur in

Previous studies examining the relationship between hepatic iron deposition and histological severity in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) have been inconclusive. The goal of this study was to examine the relationship between hepatic iron deposition and liver histology in 849 patients enrolle
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been reported to conform to a quasispecies nature, which is most evident in hypervariable regions of the putative envelope 2 domain. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the nucleotide complexity and diversity of hypervariable region 1 and vario
