Background and Aims Patients with advanced liver cirrhosis have an increased
susceptibility to infections. As part of the cirrhosis‐associated immune dysfunction, mucosal …

Background & Aims Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are depleted from blood in
patients with advanced liver disease and show features of immune dysfunction. Because …

Conclusions Despite severely diminished MAIT cell numbers and impaired phenotype in
circulation, peritoneal MAIT cells remain abundant, activated, and highly functional in …

The liver is an important immunological organ that remains sterile and tolerogenic in
homeostasis, despite continual exposure to non‐self food and microbial‐derived products …

The broadening field of microbiome research has led to a substantial reappraisal of the gut–
liver axis and its role in chronic liver disease. The liver is a central immunologic organ that is …

BACKGROUND Liver failure has high mortality and poor prognosis, and establishing new
reliable markers for predicting its prognosis is necessary. Mucosal-associated invariant T …

Mucosal-associated invariant T cells or MAIT cells are an abundant cell type in humans and
especially so in the liver. MAIT cells are a subset of T lymphocytes that sit at a bridge …

Autoimmune liver diseases (AILDs) are chronic liver pathologies characterized by fibrosis
and cirrhosis due to immune‐mediated liver damage. In this study, we addressed the …

Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a recently identified subset of invariant T
cells. They express a conserved invariant T cell antigen receptor (TCR) a-chain, composed …

Background Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of chronic liver diseases.
Inflammatory response is a basic pathological feature of ALD. Mucosal-associated invariant …
