Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-wide meta-analysis increases to 71 the number of confirmed Crohn's disease susceptibility loci

Andre Franke, +97 more
- 01 Dec 2010 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of six Crohn's disease genome-wide association studies and a series of in silico analyses highlighted particular genes within these loci implicated functionally interesting candidate genes including SMAD3, ERAP2, IL10, IL2RA, TYK2, FUT2, DNMT3A, DENND1B, BACH2 and TAGAP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in 2D and 3D in vitro systems using primary hepatocytes, alternative hepatocyte sources and non-parenchymal liver cells and their use in investigating mechanisms of hepatotoxicity, cell signaling and ADME.

Patricio Godoy, +94 more
TL;DR: This review encompasses the most important advances in liver functions and hepatotoxicity and analyzes which mechanisms can be studied in vitro and how closely hepatoma, stem cell and iPS cell–derived hepatocyte-like-cells resemble real hepatocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Organic anion-transporting polypeptide B (OATP-B) and its functional comparison with three other OATPs of human liver

TL;DR: OATP-B is the third bromosulphophthalein uptake system localized at the basolateral membrane of human hepatocytes and is the first to be characterized with respect to tissue distribution and hepatocellular localization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enterohepatic Bile Salt Transporters in Normal Physiology and Liver Disease

TL;DR: A key regulator of hepatocellular bile salt homeostasis is the bile acid receptor/farnesoid X receptor FXR, which activates transcription of the BSEP and OATP8 genes and of the small heterodimer partner 1 (SHP) as mentioned in this paper.
