Ex vivo perfusion optimization of donor liver grafts for transplantation and cell isolation
… of suboptimal sources including damaged donor organs that are not transplantable. Many of these organs have potentially reversible pathologies however, that could be treated via ex vivo perfusion thereby increasing their cell yield. With the intent to translate organ recovery by perfusion into …

Investigating the role of the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor MIST1 in pancreatic diseases
… to maintain proper metabolic homeostasis for the organism. Dysregulation of enzyme secretion in acinar cells can give rise to exocrine diseases including acute pancreatitis (AP), a disease that targets acinar cells, leading to acinar-ductal metaplasia (ADM), inflammation and fibrosis—events that …
