Bioprinting is an emergent technology that has already demonstrated the capacity to create complex and/or vascularized multicellular structures with defined and organized architectures, in a reproducible and high throughput way. Here, we present the implementation of a complex liver model by the development of a three-dimensional extrusion bioprint...

Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of chronic liver disease worldwide with limited therapeutic options. Interleukin-1 receptor associated kinase 4 (IRAK4), the master kinase of Toll-like receptor (TLR)/IL-1R-mediated signalling activation, is considered a novel therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases, but has not been investig...

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major health problem and a significant cause of liver-related death. Currently, the mainstay for ALD therapy is alcohol abstinence highlighting the need to develop pharmacotherapeutic approaches. Protein-tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is an established regulator of hepatic functions, but its role in ALD is mostly...

Besides lung drastic involvement, SARS-CoV-2 severely affected other systems including liver. Emerging epidemiological studies brought the attentions towards liver injury and impairment as a potential outcome of COVID19. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and Transmembrane serine protease (TMPRSS2) are the main cell entry receptors of SARS-CoV-...

Toxicology Reports
Effects of 4-methyl-2-mercaptobenzimidazole (4-MeMBI) and 5-methyl-2- mercaptobenzimidazole (5-MeMBI) on cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity were examined in primary cultured rat hepatocytes. Hepatocytes from male Wistar rats were cultured in the presence of 4-MeMBI or 5-MeMBI (0−400 μM), and the activity of CYPs 3A2/4 (48 and 96 h) and 1A1/2 (48 h) was...

Lipotoxicity plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Hesperetin, a flavonoid derivative, has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective properties. In the present study, we aim to examine whether hesperetin protects against palmitate-induced lipotoxic cell death and to investigate the underlyi...

BackgroundCell therapy using hepatocytes derived from stem cells has been regarded as a promising alternate to liver transplantation. However, the heterogeneity of these hepatocytes makes them unsuitable for therapeutic use. To overcome this limitation, we generated homogenous hepatocyte like induced hepatocyte-like (iHep) cells.MethodsiHep cells w...

Mental memory system has sensory memory, short-term memory, working memory, and long-term memory. Working memory "keeps things in mind in parallel" when performing complex tasks. Similar aspects can be found for immunological memory. However, there exists another one, the memory of the fatty acid system. This article shows sensory memory of the fat...

Cholangiopathies are chronic, progressive diseases of the biliary tree, and can be either acquired or genetic. The primary target is the cholangiocyte (CC), the cell type lining the bile duct that is responsible for bile modification and transport. Despite advances in our understanding and diagnosis of these diseases in recent years, there are no p...
