The authors review achievements in the field of prophylaxis and treatment of acute liver failure with donor's allo- and xenogenic isolated hepatocytes. Present-day clinical and experimental data on transplantation of hepatocytes evidence for their ability to produce a detoxicating action, to restore the lost functions of the affected part of the liver, to prevent death of hepatocytes caused by ischemia, to activate regeneration. This method is easy to conduct and obtained cells from one donor can by used for many recepients. Problems in transplantation of isolated hepatocytes are shown. Factors stimulating hepatocyte regeneration are mentioned with a special focus on hepatocyte growth factor having the most potent mitogenic effect.

Alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD) is characterized by the accumulation of hepatic lipid and has no effective treatment yet. Fructus Corni is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, and its extractions have demonstrated hepatoprotective properties. We hypothesize that the polysaccharides in Fructus Corni might have therapeutic effects on AFLD.

The harmful by-product of paracetamol is known as N-Acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine, (NAPQI). When paracetamol is given at therapeutic dosages or in excess, it undergoes Phase I metabolism in the liver via Cytochrome P-450 2E1 (CYP2E1), and then it produces NAPQI. Previous studies reported that a non-ionic surfactant known as Brij 35 (Polyoxyethylene lauryl ether) has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of CYP2E1 and P-glycoprotein (P-gp).

Introduction: , a traditional medicinal plant, is renowned for its therapeutic properties, including the promotion of anti-inflammatory and bile secretion. Notably, it has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of jaundice. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of -derived exosomes (ACDEs) as a novel therapeutic approach in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

A more precise tool that enables spatiotemporal control of PKCepsilon activity is thus required. Here, we describe a photo-activatable optogenetic PKCepsilon probe (Opto-PKCepsilon) consisting of an engineered PKCepsilon catalytic domain and a blue-light inducible dimerization domain.

A new ursane triterpenoid, actichinone (3-oxo-2α,24-dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid, 1), was isolated from the roots of a kiwi plant Actinidia chinensis Planch, together with 18 known triterpenoids (2-19). The structure of actichinone (1) was established by extensive spectroscopic analysis. Actichinone (1) showed the most potent lipid-lowering activity in the oleic acid (OA)-induced primary mouse hepatocytes and the structure-activity relationships (SARs) were analyzed.
