Cell Transplantation Promising for Treatment of Biliary Diseases
Biliary disease is a term used to describe diseases that affect the biliary system, which can result in inflammation, fibrosis, bile duct destruction, and eventually liver failure. It also frequently leads to secondary infections and chronic irritation, such as bile duct stones, which can lead to malignant tumors. There is currently no cure for biliary tract diseases other than liver ...

Three-Port Versus Standard Four-Port Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial in a Community-Based Teaching Hospital in Eastern Nepal
Article Overview The prevalence of laparoscopic cholecystectomies has increased in frequency leading to an increase in both surgeoi experience and technical refinements, specifically the number of ports used and their size. The 3-port laparoscope cholecystectomy has already been established as being safe. The design of this study sought to determine if ther were any additional advantages compared ...

Classification and Function of Amylase
Amylase (AMS), also known as 1,4-α-D-glucanohydrolase, is a general term for enzymes that hydrolyze starch and glycogen. The main function of amylase is to break down starch to produce simple sugars such as fructose, maltose, glucose and dextrin. Amylases are also used in food and beverage processing and other industries. Classification of amylases 1. Alpha-amylase Alpha-amylase is mainly ...

Why Supplementing Digestive Enzymes Is Necessary for Most People?
Enzymes are proteins with catalytic functions in organisms. The distinguishing feature of enzymes is that they have a high degree of catalytic function and specificity, and the activity of enzymes can be adjusted, which is closely related to the conversion of different energy forms. Up to now, there are nearly 2,000 known enzymes. Digestive enzyme is one of them. It is mainly secreted by the ...

Mesothelin: A New Target for Cancer Therapy
Structure and function of mesothelin The MSLN gene is located in chromosome 16p13. It contains 17 exons, with a cDNA length of about 2138bp, has a 1884-bp open reading frame, and encodes the precursor protein of 628 amino acids (69 kDa). This precursor protein can be hydrolyzed by furin protease into two parts: mesothelin in the size of 40 kDa fragments and 31 kDa secreted fragments called ...

The Functions and Roles of Enzymes
Catalysis Enzymes are a class of biological catalysts. They govern many catalytic processes such as metabolism, nutrition, and energy conversion of organisms. Most of the reactions closely related to life processes are enzyme-catalyzed reactions. These properties of the enzyme enable the intricate process of material metabolism in the cell to proceed in an orderly manner, and to adapt material ...

Establishment of a Stable Organoid Culture System: Customization and Standardization
Prefix Organoids are miniature organs created in vitro from adult stem cells (ASCs) or pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). They form three-dimensional (3D) tissue-like structures through the self-organization, self-renewal, and differentiation capabilities of stem cells. Compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures or spheroids, organoids closely resemble living organs in terms of ...
