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

Smoking Cessation Induces Profound Changes in the Composition of the Intestinal Microbiota in Humans

TL;DR: The results indicate that smoking is an environmental factor modulating the composition of human gut microbiota, suggesting a potential pathogenetic link between weight gain and smoking cessation and giving rise to a potential association of smoking status and the course of IBD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bilberry ingestion improves disease activity in mild to moderate ulcerative colitis - an open pilot study.

TL;DR: This is the first report on the promising therapeutic potential of a standardized anthocyanin-rich bilberry preparation in UC in humans and results clearly indicate a therapeutic Potential of bilberries in UC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of a common vitamin D-binding protein polymorphism with inflammatory bowel disease

TL;DR: This study adds DBP to the list of potential genes that contribute to the complex genetic etiology of IBD, and further emphasizes the association between vitamin D homeostasis and intestinal inflammation.
