Adiponectin: a key playmaker adipocytokine in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
(2014)Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome and can progress to cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In the last two decades, the prevalence of NAFLD has ... -
A Collaborative Biomedical Image-Mining Framework: Application on the Image Analysis of Microscopic Kidney Biopsies
(2013)The analysis and characterization of biomedical image data is a complex procedure involving several processing phases, such as data acquisition, preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. The ... -
Enzymes as Target Antigens of Liver-Specific Autoimmunity: The Case of Cytochromes P450s
(2008)Characterization of liver-specific autoantigens has given a fresh impetus to research in the pathogenesis of autoimmune liver diseases, viral-triggered and drug-induced autoimmunity affecting the liver. Intriguing is the ... -
Genotype 4 HCV infection is difficult to cure with pegylated interferon and ribavirin. Results from a Greek Nationwide Cohort Study
(2014)Background and aim: Patients with genotype 4 (G4) chronic hepatitis C (CHC) are considered a difficult to treat population, although current data on G4 treatment responsiveness and duration are controversial. Greece ... -
Low Serum Hepcidin in Patients with Autoimmune Liver Diseases
(2015)Hepcidin, a liver hormone, is important for both innate immunity and iron metabolism regulation. As dysfunction of the hepcidin pathway may contribute to liver pathology, we analysed liver hepcidin mRNA and serum hepcidin ... -
Oval cell proliferation in cirrhosis in rats. An experimental study
(2007)Oval cells are liver stem cells involved in liver regeneration following liver damage. Previous studies have shown that pretreatment with a hepatocyte inhibitor is required to allow full oval cell activation. This study ... -
Serum and liver iron concentration in dogs with experimentally induced hepatopathy
(2006)Background and Aim: Iron (Fe) status is altered in human and experimental animal hepatopathies. In dogs limited data are available. The aim of this study was to investigate serum iron (SI), total iron binding capacity ... -
A software tool for the automatic detection and quantification of fibrotic tissues in microscopy images
(2015)The high volume of pathological microscopy images deforming tissues make the fast quantification and detection of the corrupted regions extremely difficult. To tackle this problem, we present in this paper an automated ...
