One liver, three recipients: segment IV from split-liver procedures as a source of hepatocytes for cell transplantation

Transplantation

Abstract

Hepatocyte transplantation is emerging as a possible treatment for patients with acute liver failure and liver-based metabolic disorders. With the limited availability of donor tissue, it is important to find new sources of liver tissue for isolation of high-quality hepatocytes. Segment IV with or without the caudate lobe was removed during three split-liver procedures. Hepatocytes were isolated from the tissues using a collagenase perfusion technique under strict sterile conditions. The mean number of hepatocytes that were isolated was 5.14 x 10(8) cells with a mean cell viability of 89%. Two of the hepatocyte preparations were used for cell transplantation in a 1-day-old boy with an antenatal diagnosis of a severe urea cycle defect caused by ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency. The six recipients of split-liver grafts demonstrated no complications related to the removal of segment IV. Segment IV with or without the caudate lobe obtained from split-liver procedures is potentially a good source of high-quality hepatocytes for cell transplantation.

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.
