Hepatic nuclear factor 1 (HNF-1) regulates genes in a hepatocyte-specific manner. It has been previously reported that the ratio of HNF-1 alpha and HNF-1 beta mRNA is related to histological differentiation hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, the expression levels of the HNF-1 alpha and H

## Abstract The hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF4α) has been implicated in liver development and hepatocellular differentiation. The HNF4α expression in liver stem cells has not yet been fully investigated. Here, we describe the expression characterization of HNF4α in liver stem cells isolated from 2
## Abstract Here, we describe the preparation, structure, and properties of cryogel sponges, which represent a new type of macroporous biomaterial for tissue engineering. Cryogels were produced through freeze–thawing techniques, either from agarose alone or from agarose with grafted gelatin. The ai
Pancreatic islets are enveloped by a sheath of Schwann cells, the glial cells of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The fact that Schwann cells of the PNS become reactive and express nerve growth factor (NGF) and other growth factors following axotomy suggested the possibility that peri-islet Schw
## Abstract The expression patterns of the liver‐enriched transcription factors CCAAT/enhancer‐binding protein (C/EBP) α and β and hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)‐1 and HNF‐4 were studied in liver nodules and hepatocellular carcinomas from male rats treated according to the resistant hepatocyte (RH
## Abstract Exendin‐4 (EX‐4), a long acting agonist of GLP‐1, induces an endocrine phenotype in Capan‐1 cells. Under culture conditions which include serum, ∼10% of the cells contain insulin and glucagon. When exposed to EX‐4 (0.1 nM, up to 5 days), the number of cells containing insulin and glucag
