Optimized Ex Vivo Human Liver Slice Culture Maintains Extended Viability and Function for Hepatotoxicity Testing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An optimized ex vivo human liver slice culture system preserves tissue architecture, hepatocyte function, and immune‐stromal complexity for at least five days. By refining slice thickness, oxygenation, air‐liquid interface, and extracellular matrix support, the platform enables human‐relevant hepatotoxicity testing and mechanistic studies, offering a ...

Emerging Importance of Autoimmune Hepatitis in Children in Taiwan, an Endemic Area for Viral Hepatitis

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2009
Untreated autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) can develop into liver cirrhosis, with potentially fatal outcomes. Viral hepatitis in children was endemic in Taiwan before universal hepatitis B vaccination, but AIH has rarely been reported in Taiwanese children. We

De Novo Autoimmune Hepatitis after COVID-19 Infection in an Unvaccinated Patient

Case Reports in Hepatology, 2022
Liver test abnormalities have been described during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV)-2 infection causing coronavirus disease 2019. Most of them consist of elevation of the aminotransferases that resolve once the infection subsides.

Classical autoimmune hepatitis and the IgG4-associated autoimmune hepatitis in paediatric patients

Polish Journal of Pathology
The IgG4-associated autoimmune hepatitis (IgG4-AIH) is a newly proposed disease entity characterised by the accumulation of the IgG4-expressing plasma cells in the liver. Its pathophysiology and clinical significance remain unclear and have poor evidence

Update on Autoimmune Hepatitis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology, 2015
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), a liver disorder affecting both children and adults, is characterized by inflammatory liver histology, elevated transaminase levels, circulating nonorganspecific autoantibodies, and increased levels of immunoglobulin G, in the absence of a known etiology.

Better 10‐Year Cerebrovascular Outcome After Transplant Than on Standard‐Care in Sickle Cell Anemia: DREPAGREFFE Trial

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Management of cerebral vasculopathy in sickle cell anemia (SCA) includes standard‐care, that is, chronic transfusion (CT) or hydroxyurea, and hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). DREPAGREFFE‐1 (December 2010/June 2013), a French multicenter trial, was the first prospective trial comparing standard‐care to match sibling donor (MSD)‐HCT in ...

Cumulative Antigen Suppression Reduces Clonal Plasma Cell Evolution in Gaucher Disease

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic antigenic stimulation is implicated in the pathogenesis of monoclonal gammopathy and multiple myeloma, yet longitudinal human evidence linking sustained antigen exposure to modifiable clonal plasma cell evolution remains limited. Gaucher disease (GD), caused by biallelic GBA1 pathogenic variants, is characterized by accumulation of ...

Humanized immune system animal models and their recent applications

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this review, we provide an updated and comprehensive overview of the current state of humanized immune system animal model research. We discuss the variety of techniques used to produce humanized mice with their respective strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate the advantages and limitations of these models, including issues with incomplete immune ...
