A 3D liver model was engineered by a team of researchers, that accurately replicates the connection between liver cells (hepatocytes) and scarring cells (stellate cells) in the condition of fibrosis.
The effectiveness of non-clinical drug safety predictions is enhanced by the adoption of three-dimensional (3D) cellular models. 3D bioprinting enables the generation of complex models with spatial ...
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), engineers developed a new liver tissue model to help reveal the stages of liver regeneration in hopes to help those individuals with liver disease, ...
ToxPredictor accurately predicts drug induced liver injury (DILI) to offer a valuable “go/no-go” tool in clinical decision making.
A new mouse study shows high-dose aluminum adjuvant Imject Alum can induce liver fibrosis via inflammasome activation, ...
Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) are important parameters to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of a drug, and therefore a crucial measurement for drug efficacy. Animal ...
Microphysiological systems help address the shortcomings of animal models for mAb development, and CN Bio is taking an active ...
Scientists from Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have successfully tested adeno-associated viral vector-based (AAV) gene therapies in whole human livers in the lab. The study, which is ...
Although the research centered on mAChR4 within the gut, this signaling protein is also known to influence areas of the brain involved in habit formation, learning and addiction. Because individuals ...
After the recent implementation of acuity circle (AC)-based allocation policies, overall mortality and dropout rates among severely ill liver transplant candidates decreased; however, candidates with ...
