Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory liver disease driven by autoimmune mechanisms, characterized by elevated serum ...

Conclusions K19 positive hepatocellular neoplasias occur in twelve percent of hepatocellular neoplasias and are associated with a poorly differentiated histology and more aggressive tumour ...

Liver or blood samples were analysed using histology, immunohistochemistry, real-time RT-PCR, western blotting and ELISA. Results siRNA-mediated knockdown of Fgfr4 severely affected liver regeneration ...

Fiber-optic ATR-IR spectroscopy enables real-time liver tumor classification during surgery, offering faster and more ...

Hepatocytes are specialized epithelial cells that are the main cell type of the liver and constitute over two-thirds of its mass. Hepatocytes are involved in a number of vital functions, including ...

This is a useful study in the role of CHI3L1 in Kupffer cells, the macrophages of the liver, showing that CHI3L1 alters glucose regulation in obesity. Specifically, Chi3l1 protects glucose-dependent ...

Hepatocytes cultured in FNTSs are superior to their injections in terms of liver function, survival time, and recovery in a CCl 4 -induced cirrhosis rats’ model. 232 animals were divided into 5 groups ...

After surgical removal of two-thirds of the liver, remaining hepatocytes replicate and restore hepatic mass within 2 weeks. This process must be initiated by signals extrinsic to the hepatocyte, but ...

Aims: At present, clinical success of hepatocyte transplantation as an alternative to whole liver transplantation is hampered by the limited availability of suitable donor organs for the isolation of ...

Microscopic colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the colon characterized by watery diarrhea, normal or near-normal endoscopic findings, and distinctive histologic features. First recognized ...

Hepatocytes are known to express a large number of characteristic proteins. Transformed and cultured hepatocytes only partially maintain functional cell differentiation characteristics, which can be ...
