The majority of patients with acute liver failure (ALF) die waiting for orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). No other treatment modality is shown to improve survival. This study was conducted to assess the safety and feasibility of hepatocyte transplantation (HT) and subsequent engraftment and fu

Critical success factors in solid organ and vascular transplantation are the assessment of graft status/ viability as well as stringent monitoring of transplant recipients, preferentially using noninvasive techniques. This review addresses the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spec
## Abstract The enhancement characteristics of the liver and spleen produced by a hepatocyte‐specific magnetic resonance imaging agent, an arabinogalactan‐coated ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide derivative, BMS 180550, were evaluated. Both heavily T1‐ and T2‐weighted sequences were used. Ima
The use of animal models is a very powerful tool for the preclinical assessment of potential therapies for osteoporosis. However, the effective use of animal models has two prerequisites. The first is the use of appropriate techniques to assess the overall effects of therapy on bone. As spontaneous
