Ian Homer Y. Cua, Jason M. Hui, Priyanka Bandara, James G. Kench, Geoffrey C. Farrell, Geoffrey W. McCaughan, Jacob George – 27 June 2007 – The role of tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 6, leptin, and adiponectin in the pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐associated insulin resistance (IR) remains controversial.
Agnieszka Banas, Takumi Teratani, Yusuke Yamamoto, Makoto Tokuhara, Fumitaka Takeshita, Gary Quinn, Hitoshi Okochi, Takahiro Ochiya – 27 June 2007 – Recent observations indicate that several stem cells can differentiate into hepatocytes; thus, cell‐based therapy is a potential alternative to liver transplantation. The goal of the present study was to examine the in vitro hepatic differentiation potential of adipose tissue‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT‐MSCs).
Bommayya Narayanaswamy, Christopher Gonde, J. Michael Tredger, Munther Hussain, Diego Vergani, Mark Davenport – 27 June 2007 – Biliary atresia (BA) may be characterized as an occlusive cholangiopathy affecting both intra‐ and extra‐hepatic parts of the biliary tree, together with a pronounced inflammatory response consisting of hepatic infiltration of (predominantly) CD4+ lymphocytes and macrophages. Soluble cellular adhesion molecules are also known to be raised at the time of portoenterostomy, presumably reflecting intrahepatic disease.
