This review encompasses the most important advances in liver functions and hepatotoxicity
and analyzes which mechanisms can be studied in vitro. In a complex architecture of nested, …

Background The ideal closure technique of the pancreas after distal pancreatectomy is
unknown. We postulated that standardised closure with a stapler device would prevent …

The incidence, clinical presentation, therapeutic options, and outcome of hepatic artery
thrombosis (HAT) were analyzed in a series of 1,192 consecutive adult orthotopic liver …

Stem cells are one of the most fascinating areas in regenerative medicine today. They play a
crucial role in the development and regeneration of human life and are defined as cells that …

We describe a step-by-step protocol for measuring the stable products of the nitric oxide (NO)
pathway: nitrite, nitrite plus nitrate and nitrate. This described protocol is easy to apply and …
