Flow cytometric quantification of neutral lipids in a human skin stem cell-derived model of NASH Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a severe chronic liver disease that affects 3 to 5 percent of the world population. It is characterized by hepatic lipid accumulation and inflammation and can progress towards fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Until today, no drug has been approved for the treatment of NASH. This delay relates to the complex pathogenesis of NASH and also to a lack of appropriate predictive preclinical ...
Relationships between plasma lipids, proteins, surface tension and post-dive bubbles Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Decompression sickness (DCS) in divers is caused by bubbles of inert gas. When DCS occurs, most bubbles can be found in the venous circulation: venous gas emboli (VGE). Bubbles are thought to be stabilized by low molecular weight surfactant reducing the plasma-air surface tension (γ). Proteins may play a role as well. We studied the interrelations between these substances, γ and VGE, measured before and after a dry dive simulation. VGE of 63 ...
