1. Hepatocyte growth factor : Studies on local and systemic release and effects during infectious disease; in vivo and in vitro
Abstract : The interaction of mesenchymal and epithelial cells that occurs after organ injuries results in enhanced production of cytokines, such as hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). HGF is a glycoprotein with unique properties that contribute to wound healing after injuries. READ MORE

2. Mechanistic analyses of hepatocyte plasticity
Abstract : Adult hepatocytes are highly plastic cells which have a molecular toolbox for efficient regeneration. Yet, end stage liver diseases are becoming an increasing clinical burden. READ MORE

3. Quantitative Evaluation of Contrast Agent Dynamics in Liver MRI
Abstract : The studies presented here evaluate the biliary, parenchymal and vascular enhancement effects of two T1-shortening liver-specific contrast agents, Gd-BOPTA and Gd-EOB-DTPA, in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of healthy subjects and of patients.Ten healthy volunteers were examined with both contrast agents in a 1.

4. Growth hormone regulation of LFABP and PPARa. Genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism
Abstract : Growth hormone (GH) is known to have several important effects in the control of metabolism. The aim of these studies was to investigate how GH regulates genes involved in fatty acid transport and metabolism in the liver and the interaction between GH and fatty acids in this regulation.
