Liver stem cells: Experimental findings and implications for human liver disease

Posted on August 13, 2015 by George K. Michalopoulos, Zahida Khan

Evidence from human histopathology and experimental studies with rodents and zebrafish has shown that hepatocytes and cholangiocytes may function as facultative stem cells for each other in conditions of impaired regeneration. The interpretation of the… Continue reading →

Characterization of Genetic Loci That Affect Susceptibility to Inflammatory Bowel Diseases in African Americans

Posted on August 13, 2015 by Chengrui Huang, Talin Haritunians, David T. Okou, David J. Cutler, Michael E. Zwick, Kent D. Taylor, Lisa W. Datta, Joseph C. Maranville, Zhenqiu Liu, Shannon Ellis, Pankaj Chopra, Jonathan S. Alexander, Robert N. Baldassano, Raymond K. Cross, Themis

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has familial aggregation in African Americans (AAs), but little is known about the molecular genetic susceptibility. Mapping studies using the Immunochip genotyping array expand the number of susceptibility loci for IBD… Continue reading →

The Functional Lumen Imaging Probe Detects Esophageal Contractility not Observed with Manometry in Patients with Achalasia

Posted on August 13, 2015 by Dustin A. Carlson, Zhiyue Lin, Peter J. Kahrilas, Joel Sternbach, Erica N. Donnan, Laurel Friesen, Zoe Listernick, Benjamin Mogni, John E. Pandolfino

The functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) could improve characterization of achalasia subtypes by detecting non-occlusive esophageal contractions not observed with standard manometry. We aimed to evaluate for esophageal contractions during volumetric d… Continue reading →
