TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of methods for use by investigators who aim to examine macro-autophagy and related processes, as well as for reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that are focused on these processes.

TL;DR: This review encompasses the most important advances in liver functions and hepatotoxicity and analyzes which mechanisms can be studied in vitro and how closely hepatoma, stem cell and iPS cell–derived hepatocyte-like-cells resemble real hepatocytes.

TL;DR: The synergistic effects of the ceramic coating and tacrolimus suggest that this new approach to local delivery of antiproliferative or immunosuppressive drugs may have a high potential to translate into clinical benefit.

TL;DR: Using a anatomically based, vessel-oriented, parenchyma-preserving surgical technique in 95% liver resections led to long-term survival.

TL;DR: Protocols employing specific antibody combinations for immunostaining, confocal imaging, three-dimensional reconstruction of approximately 100-μm-thick tissue blocks and quantification of key architectural features are established for simultaneous visualization of bile canaliculi, sinusoidal endothelial cells, glutamine synthetase, and DAPI for the identification of central veins.
