The different roles of ALPPS and PVE are still debated. This study shows that although upfront ALPPS offers higher resection rate than PVE the sequential use of PVE followed by ALPPS leads to improved hypertrophy compared to ALPPS upfront.

This study revealed young female mice and aged male mice were the most insulin sensitive and resistant group, respectively. Aging reduced sex difference in insulin sensitivity. The age effect on inflammation and metabolism is transplantable, and the phenotypic outcomes change based on the recipient sex.
