AAA IBD 2017: Methodologies to Collect and Analyze Clinical Data to Support Quality Improvement Initiatives Designed to Optimize the Care of Patients with IBD
Historical Perspectives and Advances in the Mesenchymal Stem Cell Research for the Treatment of Liver Diseases
Liver transplantation is the only effective therapy for patients with decompensated cirrhosis and fulminant liver failure. However, due to a shortage of donor livers and complications associated with immune suppression, there is an urgent need for new … Continue reading
Efficacy of NVR 3-778, Alone and in Combination With Pegylated Interferon, vs Entecavir in uPA/SCID Mice With Humanized Livers and HBV Infection
NVR3-778 is a capsid assembly modulator in clinical development. We determined the in vivo anti-viral efficacy and effects on innate and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress responses of NVR3-778 alone or in combination with pegylated interferon alpha (pe… Continue reading
Cathepsin B-mediated Activation of Trypsinogen in Endocytosing Macrophages Increases Severity of Pancreatitis in Mice
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by premature intracellular activation of digestive proteases within pancreatic acini and a consecutive systemic inflammatory response. We investigated how these processes interact during severe pancreatitis in mice. Continue reading
Mitochondrial dysfunction, through impaired autophagy, leads to endoplasmic reticulum stress, deregulated lipid metabolism, and pancreatitis in animal models
Little is known about the signaling pathways that initiate and promote acute pancreatitis (AP). The pathogenesis of AP has been associated with abnormal increases in cytosolic Ca2+, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired autophagy, and endoplasmic reticul… Continue reading
