Abstract: We consider Liouville-type theorems for the following H'{e}non-Lane-Emden system hfill -Delta u&=& |x|^{a}v^p ext{in} mathbb{R}^N, hfill -Delta v&=& |x|^{b}u^q ext{in} mathbb{R}^N, when pq>1, p,q,a,bge0. The main conjecture states that there is no non-trivial non-negative solution whenever (p,q) is under the critical Sobolev hyperbola, i.e. fracN+ap+1+fracN+bq+1>N2. We show that this is indeed the case in dimension N=3 provided the solution is also assumed to be bounded, extending a result established recently by Phan-Souplet in the scalar case. Assuming stability of the solutions, we could then prove Liouville-type theorems in higher dimensions. For the scalar cases, albeit of second order (a=b and p=q) or of fourth order (age0=b and p>1=q), we show that for all dimensions Nge3 in the first case (resp., Nge5 in the second case), there is no positive solution with a finite Morse index, whenever p is below the corresponding critical exponent, i.e 1<p<fracN+2+2aN2 (resp., 1<p<fracN+4+2aN4). Finally, we show that non-negative stable solutions of the full H'{e}non-Lane-Emden system are trivial provided label{sysdim00} N<2+2(frac{p(b+2)+a+2}{pq-1}) (sqrt{frac{pq(q+1)}{p+1}}+ sqrt{frac{pq(q+1)}{p+1}-sqrtfrac{pq(q+1)}{p+1}}).
