Diurnal Oscillations in Liver Mass and Cell Size Accompany Ribosome Assembly Cycles

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Daniel Alain Dominique Marie Mauvoisin, Jingkui Wang

The liver plays a pivotal role in metabolism and xenobiotic detoxification, processes that must be particularly efficient when animals are active and feed. A major question is how the liver adapts to these diurnal changes in physiology. Here, we show that, ...

1H MRS to investigate the hepatic profile of GLUT2-/- mice

Rolf Gruetter, Hongxia Lei, Ana Francisca Leal Silva Soares

We performed 1H MRS at 14.1T in the liver of GLUT2-/- and wild-type (WT) mice. Improved spectral resolution allowed identifying peaks from the lipid resonances, choline containing compounds, taurine and glycogen in WT mice. Performing the same measurements ...

Towards higher precision in instrument guided liver surgery: automatic registration of 3D ultrasound with pre-operative MeVis-CT

Delphine Ribes Lemay, Matthias Peterhans

Purpose Liver cancer is the 5 most common cancer and shows poor prognosis. Surgical removal of liver tumours, the only existing curative treatment, can merely be used in 10-20% of the case. Increasing surgical precision is a key-challenge to give more pati ...

Hepatic viscoelastic parameters measured with MR elastography: correlations with quantitative analysis of liver fibrosis in the rat

Najat Salameh, Isabelle Leclercq

To determine the correlations between the viscoelastic parameters of the liver measured with in vivo MR elastography and quantitative analysis of liver fibrosis. ...

Applying whole water samples to cell bioassays for detecting dioxin-like compounds at contaminated sites

Kristin Schirmer

Methodology was developed in order to rapidly and cost-efficiently screen whole water samples without extraction for the presence of dioxin-like compounds using a cell bioassay approach. Presence of dioxin-like compounds was indicated by the induction in t ...
