Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological consequences of loss of plasminogen activator gene function in mice.
Peter Carmeliet,Peter Carmeliet,Luc Schoonjans,Lena Kieckens,Beverly Ream,Jay L. Degen,Roderick T. Bronson,Rita Vos,Joost van den Oord,Desire Collen,Richard C. Mulligan +10 more
TL;DR: Direct evidence suggests a crucial role for the fibrinolytic system and its physiological triggers, tissue-type and urokinase-type (u-PA) plasminogen activator, in many proteolytic processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deletion of NEMO/IKKγ in Liver Parenchymal Cells Causes Steatohepatitis and Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Tom Luedde,Tom Luedde,Naiara Beraza,Vasileios Kotsikoris,Geert van Loo,Arianna Nenci,Rita Vos,Tania Roskams,Christian Trautwein,Manolis Pasparakis,Manolis Pasparakis +10 more
TL;DR: NEMO-mediated NF-κB activation in hepatocytes has an essential physiological function to prevent the spontaneous development of steatohepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma, identifying NEMO as a tumor suppressor in the liver.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protection of hepatocyte mitochondrial ultrastructure and function by strict blood glucose control with insulin in critically ill patients.
Ilse Vanhorebeek,Rita Vos,Dieter Mesotten,Pieter Wouters,Christiane De Wolf-Peeters,Greet Van den Berghe +5 more
TL;DR: Strict glycaemic control with intensive insulin therapy prevented or reversed ultrastructural and functional abnormalities of hepatocyte mitochondria and the lack of effect on skeletal-muscle mitochondria suggests a direct effect of glucose toxicity and glucose control, rather than of insulin, as the likely explanation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphological and biochemical characterization of a human liver in a uPA-SCID mouse chimera.
Philip Meuleman,Louis Libbrecht,Rita Vos,Bernard de Hemptinne,Kris Gevaert,Joël Vandekerckhove,Tania Roskams,Geert Leroux-Roels +7 more
TL;DR: The repopulation, organization, and function of human hepatocytes in a mouse recipient and the infections with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) of the transplanted cells are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinicopathological study on cholangiolocellular carcinoma suggesting hepatic progenitor cell origin
Mina Komuta,Bart Spee,Sara Vander Borght,Rita Vos,Chris Verslype,Raymond Aerts,Hirohisa Yano,Tetsuya Suzuki,Masanori Matsuda,Hideki Fujii,Valeer Desmet,Masamichi Kojiro,Tania Roskams +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the clinicopathological features of 30 cholangiolocellular carcinoma (CLC) cases and their relationship to hepatic progenitor cells (HPCs) using immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy.
