A "systems medicine" approach to the study of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

, 2015
The prevalence of fatty liver (steatosis) in the general population is rapidly increasing worldwide. The progress of knowledge in the physiopathology of fatty liver is based on the systems biology approach to studying the complex interactions among ...

Clinical Investigation of Remnant Liver Volume-to-Body Weight Ratio in Predicting Post-hepatectomy Liver Failure in Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Cirrhotic Liver

Zhongliu Fangzhi Yanjiu, 2018
Objective To explore a new cut-off of remnant liver volume-to-body weight ratio (RLV-BWR) and investigate the relationship between RLV-BWR and post-hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) of cirrhotic liver ...

Emerging experimental and computational methods for studying redox‐regulated structural transitions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Redox reactions can reshape proteins and alter how they behave in cells, with important consequences for health and disease. This review explores emerging experimental and computational approaches for discovering these redox‐sensitive protein switches, revealing their structural effects, and predicting their behavior, opening new opportunities to ...

Synergistic perspectives—How single‐molecule biophysics complement biochemical understanding

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how ensemble biochemistry and single‐molecule approaches are complementary, outline commonly used single‐molecule techniques, and illustrate their relevance through two representative case studies: chromatin organization by SMC complexes and pathway choice during DNA double‐strand break repair.

Sarcopenia, obesity and sarcopenic obesity : effects on liver function and volume in patients scheduled for major liver resection

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia, obesity and sarcopenic obesity have been linked to impaired outcome after liver surgery. Preoperative liver function of sarcopenic, obese and sarcopenic-obese patients might be reduced, possibly leading to more post-operative ...

Chiral separation of chloroalkanes with the chromatographic column onboard Martian rovers

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Computer image of the Rosalind Franklin Rover of ESA's ExoMars mission. ExoMars is scheduled to land on planet Mars in Oxia Planum in 2029. This area represents an interesting spot to look for biosignatures. Investigations of ExoMars include measurement on molecular chirality. We show that chiral chloroalkanes, that have been identified on Mars, can be

Two-dimensional ultrasound: can it replace computed tomography in liver volume assessment?

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2019
Background Liver volume estimation is considered as an integral part in preoperative evaluation in patients undergoing liver transplantation; computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are considered the gold standard methods for liver volume ...
