Hepatology . 2024 Jul; 81(3):903-916. PMID: 38954820
Background: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD) is a life-threatening condition caused by the inheritance of the serpin family A member 1 "Z" genetic variant driving alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) protein misfolding in...

Blackford S, Yu T, Norman M, Syanda A, Manolakakis M, Lachowski D, et al.
Biomaterials . 2023 Jan; 293:121982. PMID: 36640555
Human pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes (hPSC-Heps) may be suitable for treating liver diseases, but differentiation protocols often fail to yield adult-like cells. We hypothesised that replicating healthy liver niche biochemical...

JHEP Rep . 2022 Mar; 4(4):100446. PMID: 35284810
Background & Aims: The truncating mutations in tight junction protein 2 (TJP2) cause progressive cholestasis, liver failure, and hepatocyte carcinogenesis. Due to the lack of effective model systems, there are...
