Extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and resultant scar play a major role in the pathogenesis and progression of liver fibrosis. Identifying core regulators of ECM deposition may lead to urgently needed diagnostic and therapetic strategies for the d...

The United Kingdom has committed to eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat. Innovative interventions for marginalized populations are required to realize this goal. In 2016, the HepCATT study team implemented a complex hepatitis C (HCV... Read More about Understanding hepatitis C intervention success: qualitative findings from the HepCATT study.

Host genetic factors associated with hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with hepatitis C virus infection: a systematic review (2018)
Journal Article
Walker, A. J., Peacock, C. J., Pedergnana, V., & Irving, W. L. (in press). Host genetic factors associated with hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with hepatitis C virus infection: a systematic review. Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 25(5), https://doi.org/10.1111/jvh.12871

Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients are at risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Individuals at heightened riskcould be targeted by intensive follow-up surveillance. We have conducted a systematic review of the literature to identi...
