In the first study, conducted at the
Stelic Institute in Japan, STAM NASH mice were administered CRV431 orally, once daily for three weeks at a dose of 20 mg/kg, which decreased the extent of fibrosis by 57% compared to vehicle control.
The Stelic Institute & Co, Tokyo, Japan, announced it has developed a new treatment method for acute liver failure.
Research results show that for the first time that hepatic cells possess a mechanism for attempting to repair the wide-ranging hepatic cell necrosis associate with drug-induced acute liver failure, and that anti-CXCL10 antibodies strengthen this type of self-repairing function at the in vivo level, Stelic says.
Tokyo, Japan, Oct 27, 2006 - (JCN Newswire) - Stelic Institute & Co., a Tokyo-based bioventure company specializing in regenerative medicine, has announced development of a new treatment method for acute liver failure.
"Hepatic cell replication has great potential as an alternative to current methods of treating liver damage, such as transplants and cellular therapy," said Stelic chairman Hiroyuki Yoneyama.
Stelic's Stem Cell Dynamism Research Team has shown that hepatic cord regeneration in acute liver cell damage is regulated at the in vivo level by a protein called chemokine CXCL10.
