Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder01:26

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

1.9K
Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease.
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...

Overview of Cell Death

9.6K
Cell death is an essential process where the body gets rid of old or damaged cells. Cell proliferation and death need to be balanced, as an imbalance between the two may lead to cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...

Autophagic Cell Death01:18

Autophagic Cell Death

4.4K
Christian de Duve discovered “autophagy,” a process in which cellular components are engulfed by membrane-bound organelles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to digest the enclosed contents. Autophagy is generally activated in cells to prevent cell death. However, cell death is triggered when the damage is beyond repair.
Autophagy and Apoptosis
Autophagy can activate apoptosis. In normal conditions, the autophagy activating protein Beclin-1 and...

Effect of Hepatic Disease on Pharmacokinetics: Pathophysiologic Assessment and Liver Function Test

190
In clinical practice, the direct measurement of hepatic blood flow to evaluate liver function presents significant challenges due to the intricate and specialized nature of the necessary techniques. Consequently, healthcare professionals often rely on empirical estimates derived from thorough patient examinations and liver function tests to gauge liver health. Among the tools at their disposal, the Child–Pugh and MELD scoring systems stand out for their ability to categorize and assess...

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research01:21

EPS and iPS Cells in Disease Research

3.4K
Embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells are excellent models for disease research because of their ability to self-renew and differentiate into most cell types. Somatic cells from a patient are isolated and reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs. These iPSCs are later differentiated into the desired cell type, which mirrors the diseased cell of the patient. In this way, disease models have been created for investigating diseases such as Down syndrome, type I diabetes,...

Liver Histology01:27

Liver Histology

4.2K
The microscopic anatomy of the liver is a complex and intricate system that comprises numerous structural units known as liver lobules, each of which is comparable in size to a sesame seed. These hexagonal structures consist of plates of liver cells or hepatocytes, which are characterized by their versatility and abundance of cellular apparatus like rough and smooth ER, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, and mitochondria.
Hepatocytes perform a variety of essential functions. They secrete...

Area of Science:

  • Cell biology
  • Pathology
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Cell death mechanisms are increasingly classified by morphology and molecular pathways.
  • Understanding diverse cell death types is crucial for interpreting liver disease pathogenesis.
  • Apoptosis is well-characterized, but other lytic and regulated cell death forms are gaining recognition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recently revised classifications of cell death.
  • To discuss the relevance of these classifications to liver diseases.
  • To highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic implications of understanding cell death in hepatology.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of cell death classifications.
  • Analysis of recent studies on cell death in liver disease.
  • Synthesis of information on mechanisms and phenotypes of cell death.

Main Results:

  • Cell death is reclassified into apoptosis, necrosis (accidental, mPT-driven), necroptosis, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, parthanatos, entosis, autophagy-dependent, and lysosome-dependent forms.
  • These cell death modalities can occur distinctly or concurrently in liver diseases.
  • Cell death affects parenchymal, non-parenchymal, and inflammatory liver cells, leading to varied pathological outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Revised cell death classifications provide a framework for understanding liver disease.
  • Recognizing specific cell death pathways is vital for accurate diagnosis and targeted therapies in liver conditions.
  • Further research into the interplay of different cell death types in liver pathology is warranted.
