We have reported on the synthesis and characterization of near-infrared- (NIR-) absorbing colloidal nanoparticles prepared by exploiting the one-step reaction of HAuCl4 and Na2S2O3, followed by their stabilization with chitosan.This reaction also produces a big amount of unwanted nanoparticles detuned with respect to the NIR spectral region.For thi
A CCL5 Haplotype Is Associated with Low Seropositivity Rate of HCV Infection in People Who Inject Drugs.
The role of CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) and its ligand CCL5 on the pathogenesis of HIV infection has been well studied but not for HCV infection.Here, we investigated whether CCL5 haplotypes influence HIV and HCV seropositivity among 373 Caucasian people who inject drugs (PWID) from Estonia.Study included 373 PWID; 56% were HIV seropositive, 44%

Hepatocytes from Fibrotic Liver Possess High Growth Potential in Vivo
Hepatocyte transplantation is effective for treating liver failure, but healthy donors as a source of hepatocytes are quite limited.The livers of patients with hepatic fibrosis could be an alternative source; however, Work Shorts few reports have examined the nature of hepatocytes from fibrotic livers (f-hepatocytes).In this study, we compared the
