Regenerative medicine and stem cells: prometheus revisited.
to damaged tissues and organs. In other words, regenerative medicine is the ‘process of replacing or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function’ [4, 5] . It includes a group of biomedical approaches to clinical therapies that may involve the use of stem cells. Examples include: the injection of stem cells or progenitor cells (cell therapies), the inducti...
متن کاملThe myth of Prometheus and the liver.
Introduction A recent viewing ofthe painting, Prometheus Bound by Peter Paul Rubens (Boston Museum of Fine Arts Exhibition, 1993), brings to mind the role ofthe liver in the myth of Prometheus. Rubens' powerful scene (completed 1618) depicts an enchained Prometheus writhing in the foreground with an eagle pecking at the exposed liver (Figure 1)1. In the legend, the eagle's meal is repeated ever...
متن کاملPrometheus’ myth revisited: transgemc mice as a powerful tool to study liver regeneration
In this review, we present examples of the contribution of transgenic mice to our knowledge concerning the type of cells that are able to repopulate a damaged liver and information on the factors and mechanisms involved in postnatal liver growth and regeneration. The transgenic technology offers the opportunity to evaluate the physiological consequences of perturbating expression of a given gen...
متن کاملProgram Repair Revisited
We present a new and flexible approach to repair reactive programs with respect to a specification. The specification is given in linear-temporal logic. Like in previous approaches, we require that a repaired program satisfies the specification and is syntactically close to the faulty program. In addition our approach also allows the user to ask for a program that is semantically close by enfor...
متن کاملPhosphatidylcholine homeostasis and liver failure.
In mammals, the only endogenous pathway for choline biosynthesis is the methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine (PC) by phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PEMT) coupled to PC degradation. Complete choline deprivation in mice by feeding Pemt(-/-) mice a choline-deficient (CD) diet decreases hepatic PC by 50% and is lethal within 5 days. PC secretion into bile is...
