History of liver anatomy: Mesopotamian liver clay models

Animal Models Of Liver Cirrhosis And Fibrosis

Animal modeling is a crucial necessity in clinical studies of liver diseases. Authenticity of the data which are produced using this tool under different conditions and accuracy of the analyses and assessments which would be based on such data sets is completely dependent on the adoption of a standardized methodology for analyzes and assessment of these data sets. Cirrhosis and Fibrosis are amo...

Autophagy-Modulated Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Accelerate Liver Restoration in Mouse Models of Acute Liver Failure

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been recently received increasing attention for cell-based therapy, especially in regenerative medicine. However, the low survival rate of these cells restricts their therapeutic applications. It is hypothesized that autophagy might play an important role in cellular homeostasis and survival. This study aims to investigate the regenerative potentia...

Liver Anatomy and Anatomic Variants 1 3

From the first liver resection by A. Luis in 1886 to modern day liver transplantation, hepatobiliary surgery has witnessed major advancements over the last century. Much of this technical achievement has been attained on the back of progressively improved understanding of the liver anatomy and its potential variant. From Cantlie to Couinaud, many anatomists contributed towards this modern-day u...
