Fibrinogen induces alterations of endothelial cell tight junction proteins.

29 Sep 2009 We previously showed that an elevated content of fibrinogen (Fg) increased formation of filamentous actin and enhanced endothelial layer permeability. In the present work we tested the hypothesis that Fg binding to endothelial cells (ECs) alters ... Read more...

Albumin dialysis MARS: knowledge from 10 years of clinical investigation.

30 Aug 2009 A decade ago, albumin dialysis was introduced as a new extracorporeal detoxification method for patients with liver failure. Today, the molecular adsorbent recirculating system is the most frequently used type of albumin dialysis and most studied ... Read more...

Hepatitis C: The role of new interferons in the era of STAT-C.

30 Aug 2009 More than 50% of patients infected with HCV genotype 1 fail respond to standard treatment with peginterferon plus ribavirin. potent treatment strategies are urgently needed to improve outcomes for such patients. novel interferons and specifically ... Read more...
