Cryopreservation of Hepatocytes for Bioartificial Liver Devices
1 Introduction Supply of sufficient numbers of functional viable cells is one of the most controversial issues surrounding tissue and organ engineering. While use of autologous cells derived from the recipient patient is a feasible option for replacement of tissues such as cartilage, skin and bone, this is not a practical possibility for replacement of the function of organs such as liver. The ...
متن کاملExtracorporeal bioartificial liver for treating acute liver diseases.
UNLABELLED Liver is a vital organ of the human body performing myriad of essential functions. Liver-related ailments are often life-threatening and dramatically deteriorate the quality of life of patients. Management of acute liver diseases requires adequate support of various hepatic functions. Thus far, liver transplantation has been proven as the only effective solution for acute liver disea...
متن کاملConcise Review Advances in Bioartificial Liver Devices
Liver failure is the cause of death for over 30,000 patients each year in the United States alone.When this process occurs in healthy individuals with normal livers, it is termed acute liver failure (ALF). Loss of liver function that complicates chronic liver disease is termed acute-on-chronic liver failure. Liver transplantation is curative for ALF and acute-onchronic liver failure.1-6 Over th...
متن کاملMalocclusion in Adults: Biomechanical Considerations
cents has always relied on growth modification. The majority of treatment modalities, such as functional appliances, are directed at stopping or redirecting maxillary growth and simultaneously stimulating mandibular growth.1-3 On the other hand, in adult patients with severe Class II malocclusions, generally involving extremely deficient mandibles, orthognathic surgery is often the only possibl...
متن کاملImproving the next generation of bioartificial liver devices.
Several extracorporeal bioartificial liver (BAL) devices are currently being evaluated as an alternative or adjunct therapy for liver disease. While these hybrid systems show promise, in order to become a clinical reality, BAL devices must clearly demonstrate efficacy in improving patient outcomes. Here, we present aspects of BAL devices that could benefit from fundamental advances in cell and ...
