Ectopic expression of murine CD47 minimizes macrophage rejection of human hepatocyte xenografts in immunodeficient mice
Johan M. Waern, Qinggong Yuan, Urda Rüdrich, Pablo D. Becker, Kai Schulze, Helene Strick‐Marchand, Nicholas D. Huntington, Behrend J. Zacher, Karsten Wursthorn, James P. DiSanto, Carlos A. Guzman, Michael P. Manns, Michael Ott, Michael Bock – 26 April 2012 – Macrophages play an important role in the rejection of xenogeneic cells and therefore represent a major obstacle to generating chimeric mice with human xenografts that are useful tools for basic and preclinical medical research.

Teixeira, Gustavo Batista Menezes – 24 April 2012 – Acetaminophen (APAP) is a safe analgesic and antipyretic drug. However, APAP overdose leads to massive hepatocyte death.
Neuropeptide PACAP in mouse liver ischemia and reperfusion injury: Immunomodulation by the cAMP‐PKA pathway
Haofeng Ji, Yu Zhang, Xiu‐da Shen, Feng Gao, Cynthia Y. Huang, Catalina Abad, Ronald W. Busuttil, James A. Waschek, Jerzy W. Kupiec‐Weglinski – 24 April 2012 – Hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury (IRI), an exogenous antigen‐independent local inflammation response, occurs in multiple clinical settings, including liver transplantation, hepatic resection, trauma, and shock. The immune system and the nervous system maintain extensive communication and mount a variety of integrated responses to danger signals through intricate chemical messengers.
