ALPHA FETOPROTEIN; A PROGNOSTIC MARKER FOR EARLY DETECTION OF LIVER REGENERATION IN CASES OF ACUTE PARACETAMOL TOXICITY [PDF]
The Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences and Applied Toxicology, 2018 Background: Acute paracetamol toxicity is one of the commonest toxicities that lead to serious hepatic injury that could propagate to fulminant hepatic failure. An increase in serum level of alpha fetoprotein was observed following liver injury, and this

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1979 Detection and measurement of serum AFP levels have been found useful in the diagnosis, prognosis and follow up of patients with hepatoma and germ cell tumors [20]. Monitoring maternal and amniotic fluid AFP concentration helps detect a variety of fetal disorders. The in vitro evidence for immunosuppressive effects of AFP suggests a possible role of AFP

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.LUNAR is a liver‐specific long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that is highly expressed in normal liver but becomes epigenetically silenced in hepatocellular carcinoma through promoter hypermethylation. Loss of LUNAR is associated with NOTCH activation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and metastasis, whereas restoring LUNAR restrains metastatic progression ...

15-Year-Old Patient with an Unusual Alpha-Fetoprotein-Producing Sertoli-Leydig Cell Tumor of Ovary
Case Reports in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2022 Ovarian Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors (SLCTs) are extremely rare ovarian sex-cord stromal tumors. Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) production by SLCTs is a rare event generally linked to the presence of hepatocytes or intestinal mucinous epithelium as heterologous ...
