High Spatial and Temporal Resolution NIR-IIb Gastrointestinal Imaging in Mice [PDF]
Conventional biomedical imaging modalities, including endoscopy, X-rays, and magnetic resonance, are invasive and cannot provide sufficient spatial and temporal resolutions for regular imaging of gastrointestinal (GI) tract to guide prognosis and therapy of GI diseases. Here we report a non-invasive method for optical imaging of GI tract.

Hepatic progenitor cells from adult human livers for cell transplantation. [PDF]
Objective: Liver regeneration is mainly based on cellular self-renewal including progenitor cells. Efforts have been made to harness this potential for cell transplantation, but shortage of hepatocytes and premature differentiated progenitor cells ...

In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

TractSeg - Fast and accurate white matter tract segmentation [PDF]
The individual course of white matter fiber tracts is an important key for analysis of white matter characteristics in healthy and diseased brains. Uniquely, diffusion-weighted MRI tractography in combination with region-based or clustering-based selection of streamlines allows for the in-vivo delineation and analysis of anatomically well known tracts.

Common features between neoplastic and preneoplastic lesions of the biliary tract and the pancreas [PDF]
The bile duct system and pancreas show many similarities due to their anatomical proximity and common embryological origin. Consequently, preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions of the bile duct and pancreas share analogies in terms of molecular ...

Latent class mixed modelling for phenotypic stratification of primary biliary cholangitis patients on first line treatment [PDF]
In patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), the serum liver biochemistry measured during treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid (the UDCA response) accurately predicts long-term outcome. In this study we sought to use liver biochemistry, and in particular alkaline phosphatase (ALP), as a surrogate marker of disease activity, for phenotypic ...
