New horizons for studying human hepatotropic infections.
The liver serves as a target organ for several important pathogens, including hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV, respectively) and the human malaria parasites, all of which represent serious global health problems. Because these pathogens are restricted to human hepatocytes, research in small animals has been compromised by the frailty of the current mouse xenotransplantation models. In th...
متن کاملCell therapy for the diseased liver: from stem cell biology to novel models for hepatotropic human pathogens.
It has long been known that hepatocytes possess the potential to replicate through many cell generations because regeneration can be achieved in rodents after serial two-thirds hepatectomy. It has taken considerable time and effort to harness this potential, with liver regeneration models involving hepatocyte transplantation developing over the past 15 years. This review will describe the exper...
متن کاملAnimal Models Of Liver Cirrhosis And Fibrosis
Animal modeling is a crucial necessity in clinical studies of liver diseases. Authenticity of the data which are produced using this tool under different conditions and accuracy of the analyses and assessments which would be based on such data sets is completely dependent on the adoption of a standardized methodology for analyzes and assessment of these data sets. Cirrhosis and Fibrosis are amo...
متن کاملThe hepatotropic influence of cyclosporine.
The effect of cyclosporine on liver regeneration has been investigated in 25 dogs that underwent an end-to-side portacaval shunt (Eck fistula) followed by 4 days continuous infusion of the drug into the left branch of the portal vein. Three different cyclosporine infusion rates were used: 0.06, 0.6, and 4.0 mg/kg/day. Control animals received the intravenous vehicle of cyclosporine at the same ...
متن کاملBioengineered Surfaces and Hydrogels for Specific Cell
Microfluidic affinity-based cell capture devices are presently able to isolate specific cell populations from heterogenous samples, such as whole blood. The impact of this potentially powerful technology, however, is restricted by the fact that there is no reliable method to release the target cells from the capture surface while preserving their integrity. This work presents the development an...
