Cell transplantation in the treatment of liver diseases

Pediatric Transplantation
Françoise SmetsE M Sokal

Abstract

The liver performs multiple functions that are essential for life, the most crucial being its role in the body metabolism. Impairment of this function, because of liver insufficiency, can be partially restored by medical management but OLT remains the ultimate therapeutic treatment. Because not always indicated or available, other alternatives are proposed such as LCT. Compared to OLT, this procedure is less invasive, less expensive, and fully reversible. More than 50 patients have thus far benefited of this technique and are reviewed here. Indications were multiple including inborn errors of metabolism, FHF, acute on chronic diseases, and decompensated end-stage cirrhosis. Documented results were encouraging, especially for metabolic disorders, with medium-term efficacy up to two yr. Related complications were exceptional. On this basis, LCT has entered its phase of clinical application and current indications and protocols are detailed. Ongoing lines of research are discussed, including cell quality, stem cell field, and rejection prevention. Further improvement of the procedure is therefore expected and should lead to broader applications of LCT.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
