The American Association for the Study of Liver Disease (AASLD) is the leading society of scientists and health care professionals in the United States committed to preventing, diagnosing, and treating liver disease. During the annual AASLD meeting that will take place in Boston, MA (November 8-12, 2019) our group has submitted five scientific abstracts, which have being accepted for presentation. Accepted abstracts represent high caliber work, which will be shared with other scientists and health care professionals. Our work that was accepted for this meeting ranges from discovery, to translation, and to clinical application. We are very excited to share with our followers this work on PSC.
