http://openwetware.org/index.php?title=User:Nripen_S._Sharma&action=edit&section=4 In situ metabolic flux analysis to quantify the liver metabolic response to experimental burn injury. Diluted blood reperfusion as a model for transplantation of ischemic rat livers: alanine aminotransferase is a direct indicator of viability. Impact of co-culture on pancreatic differentiation of embryonic stem cells. Retinal pigment epithelium differentiation of stem cells: current status and challenges. Adipocyte-derived basement membrane extract with biological activity: applications in hepatocyte functional augmentation in vitro. What came first: fully functional or metabolically mature liver? Enrichment of hepatocyte-like cells with upregulated metabolic and differentiated function derived from embryonic stem cells using S-NitrosoAcetylPenicillamine. Augmentation of EB-directed hepatocyte-specific function via collagen sandwich and SNAP. Recovery of warm ischemic rat liver grafts by normothermic extracorporeal perfusion. Functional modulation of ES-derived hepatocyte lineage cells via substrate compliance alteration. Control of hepatic differentiation via cellular aggregation in an alginate microenvironment. Sodium butyrate-treated embryonic stem cells yield hepatocyte-like cells expressing a glycolytic phenotype. Novel quantitative tools for engineering analysis of hepatocyte cultures in bioartificial liver systems.
