Schwartz, Russell Rosenblatt, Nicholas Russo, Nicole T. Shen, Shawn Shah, Amit Mehta, and Vikas Gupta Editorials 1217 Does Cirrhosis Associated with Well Controlled Viral Hepatitis Confer a Risk for Extrahepatic Cancer? Ju Dong Yang and Gregory J. Gores (See Article on Page 1245) 1220 Diabetes, Liver Cancer, and Cirrhosis: What Next? Hannele Yki-Järvinen and Panu K. Luukkonen *Human Study (See Article on Page 1308) Cover Figure: Gao and colleagues investigated the role of Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the suppression of bacterial infection in liver disease. Here, bone marrow neutrophils were isolated from C57BL/6 mice and stimulated with 100 nm of the calcium ionophore A23187 (a known stimulator of NET formation in neutrophils) for 4 hours. Representative immunofluorescent staining photographs of cit-histone, LCN2, and 4,6-diamidino-2- phenylindole are shown by confocal microscopy.
