The liver is the largest organ of the human body. It helps your body digest food, store energy, and remove poisons. The liver's main job is to filter the blood coming from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the joints, entheses, and skin, while also increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic dysfunction...
The development of acid degradable linkers that rapidly hydrolyze at endosomal pHs is a central problem in the field of drug delivery. Acid degradable linkages are challenging to develop bec...
Accurate prediction of CYP2D6 activity from genotype data is of utmost importance as CYP2D6 pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing is increasingly used to guide drug therapy. However, given the compl...

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) are rare, devastating disorders caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding key metabolic enzymes, with the liver playing a critical role in over 140 I...
Heart failure, in the simplest of terms, indicates that a problem with the ventricles is preventing the heart from filling and/or pumping correctly. It is the result of a complex mechanical...
Numerous biomedical applications have been described for liver-humanized mouse models, such as in drug metabolism or drug-drug interaction (DDI) studies. However, the strong enlargement of t...
One of the primary limitations in drug discovery and toxicology research is the lack of good model systems between the single cell level and animal or human systems. This is especially true...
Inflammation is associated with cognitive decline and the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, although exact pathways remain elusive. To further explore the role of inflammation, we uti...
Traditional liver perfusion procedures – used to isolate hepatocytes – are difficult to perform and require extensive training, steady hands and long-standing experience. In this...
NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) is a global epidemic that affects 25% of the world’s population, with its epicentre in the West. Twenty percent of NAFLD patients go on to dev...
Learning Objectives: 1. Summarize the benefits and challenges of current preclinical methods in drug discovery and development. 2. Review new alternative methodologies (NAMs) and microphysio...
Acute T-cell mediated rejection (TCMR) is the most frequent complication after liver transplantation (LT), which can affect up to 50% of LT recipients in the first 5-year post-transplant. Li...
The capture of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (TEVs) by cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) contributes to metastasis and notably to the formation of the pre-metastatic niche (PM...
CRISPR-based forward genetic screens can be used to identify essential genes in proliferating human cell lines. Although environmental factors also influence gene essentiality, most CRISPR-b...
Efficient protein turnover is essential for cell homeostasis and organ function. Loss of proteostasis is a hallmark of aging, which culminates as a severe reduction in protein turnover rates...
1. HBV 5 Line Guideline (Proposed): • Test all adults for Hepatitis B with the triple panel: HBsAg, Anti HBc total, Anti HBs • Vaccinate all adults for HBV who are HBV triple panel...
