DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c17384 Mini liver model innovations promise more effective drug testing](https://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/800a/2024/mini-liver-model-innov-1.jpg) A laboratory-grown mini liver model uniquely created with liver cells and a synthetic nanoscaffold has shown to be effective in mimicking the liver, promising a new and more effective testing method for medicines that is more ethical than animal testing. The mini liver model, which was created in Dr. Bahijja Raimi-Abraham's laboratory, uses a novel approach that combines liver cells with synthetic scaffolds. These mini livers, or 3D liver spheroids, are designed to mimic the structure and function of the human liver more accurately than traditional 2D cell culture models. This approach offers a promising alternative to animal models for preclinical drug screening and toxicity testing. "This research marks a crucial milestone in the pursuit of ethical and effective drug testing methods. By accurately replicating human liver functions, our laboratory-grown mini liver model not only addresses the ethical concerns associated with animal testing but also offers a more reliable platform for evaluating drug safety and efficacy," said Dr. Raimi-Abraham, Senior Lecturer in Pharmaceutics. Drug discovery research has used animal models for decades to test the safety of new medical candidates. However, animal models pose significant ethical concerns and practical challenges, including physiological differences between animals and humans, high costs, and tissue availability. Consequently, there is growing interest in developing non-animal testing methods, one of which is using laboratory-grown human cell models. The liver plays a crucial role in drug development as a major site for drug metabolism. However, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a key roadblock as metabolic reactions can result in toxic side effects. This can result in acute liver failure and a frequent factor in drug withdrawals during clinical trials. ![Characterization of nanofibers. (A) SEM images for PCL nanofiber mesh.

DOI: 10.1021/acsami.3c17384 Mini liver model innovations promise more effective drug testing](https://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/800a/2024/mini-liver-model-innov.jpg) To overcome this barrier, Dr. Raimi-Abraham's team have designed a new laboratory-grown mini liver model created with liver cells and a synthetic nanoscaffold that effectively mimics liver cells for drug testing. The synthetic nanoscaffold was constructed to provide a supportive structure for the liver cells, creating a "cell soup" that contains the liver cells and the connecting nanoscaffold. Their results, published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces , highlights the success of the new laboratory-grown mini livers, which demonstrated superior cell assembly and liver replication. Further analysis showed that these models exhibited enhanced drug metabolism capabilities compared to other mini liver models that didn't use the nanoscaffold. This indicates that the new laboratory-grown mini liver model could have the potential to replace animal testing in drug screening. By addressing the ethical and practical of animal models, including physiological differences, associated high costs and limited tissue availability, this innovative approach shows great potential as a more accurate and ethical alternative. "This research represents a pivotal moment in my Ph.D. journey, offering both a profound sense of achievement and a glimpse into the future of biomedical innovation. Developing the mini liver model has not only been a testament to the potential of nanotechnology in advancing medical research but also a deeply rewarding experience in overcoming complex scientific challenges," said Lina Wu, China Scholarship Council Ph.D. Researcher, King's. In response to ethical concerns , medical regulators including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have advocated for the increased uptake of non-animal models in drug discovery and development. The FDA Modernization Act 2.0 now permits alternatives to animal testing for drug and biological product applications. Dr. Bahijja Raimi-Abraham and her team believe their laboratory-grown mini livers represent a critical step in this transition. Beyond mini liver models, The Raimi-Abraham lab aims to apply their nanoscaffold technology to develop models for other organs and create mini-organ models integrated with microbes to model specific infectious diseases such as malaria. Further research will also look more closely at the molecular mechanisms which the nanoscaffolds use to support the cells within the models.

![research topics related to medical laboratory science Dr. Aaron Clark headshot at the hospital](https://health.osu.edu/-/media/health/images/stories/2024/06/transformation-fam-med/dr-aaron-clark-family-medicine.jpg?la=en&hash=737A1DE9E9CE4D182C54CD1B78D1C5EC) Before Google and smartphones , before electronic medical records, when doctors carried manila folders into patient rooms, Aaron Clark, DO , was a young family practice doctor in rural Ohio. On any given day, he might treat strep throat and rashes, sore backs and high blood sugar. He liked the variety. In the early 2000s, Dr. Clark began practicing east of Columbus where the sick or injured had only two choices for care: a doctor’s office or an emergency department. Messaging a doctor online with a question or requesting a medication refill was several years away. So too were apps that could keep people aware of their heart rate, sleep quality, blood sugar levels and daily steps. During Dr. Clark’s residency training, every couple of weeks a semi-truck carrying an MRI machine parked in front of the local community hospital. Patients who needed an MRI stepped into the truck, had scans taken, walked out and waited several days for grainy images. MRI machines were brand-new and expensive. Only large urban health centers had them. “So, for many communities, the only way to access an MRI was the mobile unit hauled by the semi-truck,” Dr. Clark says. “Now I have an MRI 20 yards down the hall.” ![research topics related to medical laboratory science Dr. Aaron Clark family medicine exam with patient](https://health.osu.edu/-/media/health/images/stories/2024/06/transformation-fam-med/dr-clark-and-patient-in-exam.jpg?mw=1382&la=en&hash=49DB135E9822C1BE17256DFF22BA7053) Many of the technological advances Dr. Aaron Clark has seen in medicine over the past two decades have allowed patients to get better care. Over the two decades Dr. Clark has been a doctor, he’s seen major scientific advances in the field of family medicine. In technology and medications, in the treatment for chronic diseases and cancer , in the focus on preventing illnesses and the recognition that housing, education, income, race and other factors influence how healthy a person is. Health care for allDr. Clark’s aim has long been to help, especially people who can’t easily afford treatment. He grew up in Columbus, attending Columbus public schools in the 1970s, when students were bused into schools to equalize educational opportunities. As a young father in his mid-20s, still in medical school accruing heavy debt while his wife worked full-time, the family received federal assistance. They qualified for and received food through the federal Women, Infants & Children program, subsidized day care for their young children and federal payments that helped keep them afloat. Though his time receiving public assistance was brief, it made him sensitive to his patients’ financial struggles to pay for not only health care but a nutritious, regular supply of food. “There’s a birth lottery that happens,” Dr. Clark says. “Someone gets born into a set of circumstances, and that can define their journey in their lifetime. That doesn’t seem quite fair.” Now, as chair of the Department of Family and Community Medicine , he’s dedicated to providing chances for people to be as healthy as possible. Over its 50 years of teaching doctors and treating patients, Ohio State's Department of Family and Community Medicine has evolved in how it cares for patients. Physicians treat people in refugee clinics and through a mobile unit that drives to parts of Columbus offering weekly primary and prenatal care visits, screenings and lab tests. Office space and volunteers are provided to several area free clinics. “We’re reaching a larger portion of the community, including people who may not have been able to be treated in the past because of where they lived or the cost,” Dr. Clark says. And patients wanting integrative medicine have a range of options from chiropractic care and therapeutic massage to acupuncture and Ayurveda. ![research topics related to medical laboratory science Community care kits for community members at Healthy community day](https://health.osu.edu/-/media/health/images/stories/2024/06/transformation-fam-med/communitycarekit.jpg?mw=1382&la=en&hash=FAD4BCEE538C0C9E507825ECD3A8B706) The Community Care Coach offers primary care vaccines, physical exams and blood tests to Franklin County residents who may have otherwise gone without. Treating chronic illnesses betterWhile medicine will always be about treating illnesses, Dr. Clark has seen the shift to focus on preventing illnesses. Annual screenings for blood pressure, blood sugar levels, body mass index, immunizations, exercise and good nutrition have all helped stave off some sicknesses and diseases. Better and more medications also have allowed people to live longer. Among the more significant to Dr. Clark is the treatment of congestive heart failure. Decades earlier, only a few medications existed. Today, they’re numerous, helping extend the lives of people whose heart can’t pump blood well enough to give their body a normal supply. Even just a decade ago, a cancer diagnosis was far less likely to come with the hope of surviving. And people with HIV, though still incurable, can manage the chronic disease with medication. Far less often, HIV develops into AIDS and turns fatal. Dr. Clark considers this to be one of the more significant triumphs in medicine over the past two decades. “ HIV was feared , and entire communities were shunned and marginalized,” he says. “It’s no longer a death sentence. This is quite remarkable.” ![research topics related to medical laboratory science Community Care Coach Dr. Kamilah Dixon Shamble with a patient](https://health.osu.edu/-/media/health/images/stories/2024/06/transformation-fam-med/wex1188100521communitycarecoachdrkamilahdixonshamble.jpg?mw=1382&la=en&hash=CE0B5F053A2215B0412938CDEC55A775) Annual health screenings and visits with health care providers can go a long way toward preventing serious illnesses or treating them early on. Empowering patients with health care technologyFor Dr. Clark’s patients, health care apps have made a significant difference, especially for people with chronic illnesses . His patients with diabetes used to track their blood glucose levels, poking themselves with a needle and testing their blood at certain times each day and recording the results. They’d bring their logbooks to appointments, and from those, Dr. Clark had to try to figure out the patterns of the spikes and dips of their blood sugar. People with diabetes can now wear continuous glucose monitoring devices to see how their glucose levels change before and after they eat and exercise. The devices compile a patient’s data so Dr. Clark and the patient have the patterns clearly laid out. “It allows people to see the cause and effect of their food choices,” Dr. Clark says. “That can help them make better decisions.” Electronic records allow many doctors to easily share information on a patient. In the past, a separate paper chart was created for each doctor a person saw. One for the cardiologist, one for the family medicine physician, one for the Ob/Gyn, one for the endocrinologist. ![research topics related to medical laboratory science Dr. Aaron Clark at the computer at the hospital](https://health.osu.edu/-/media/health/images/stories/2024/06/transformation-fam-med/dr-clark-at-the-computer.jpg?mw=1382&la=en&hash=BA4CC0FBCEA56199D862DBAA370D4584) By health care providers sharing all the same information, they can now view a patient’s health history and lab test results as well as all the medications they’ve been prescribed. That prevents patients from taking combinations of medicines that might be harmful. With electronic records, an entire health care system can tell how well its diabetes patients are controlling their blood sugar, how many patients get mammograms and colonoscopies, and how healthy newborns are, Dr. Clark says. New technology has also allowed people to be in closer reach of their health care providers. Patients can now communicate with their doctors more than only once a year at their annual exam. At any time, patients can send messages online asking a question or requesting prescription refills, a perk for patients and a challenge for medical staff whose inboxes overflow. “We love getting our patients’ messages that they’re seeking our guidance and care,” Dr. Clark says. “But there is such a huge, huge amount of that we have to sift through.” His hope is that, in the not-so-far future, artificial intelligence will help resolve that problem by assisting medical staff in sifting through and responding to messages. Artificial intelligence, Dr. Clark expects, may play more of a role in helping diagnose patients and determine risks of certain treatments. But more than artificial intelligence, the success of medicine will always rely on the skill of medical professionals, and the trust they can develop with their patients. “At the end of the day, the most rewarding part is being in the room with a patient that you’ve known over time, through their good and difficult times,” Dr. Clark says. “And being able to impact their life in a way that few people can.” The first step in the journey to your best health begins with a primary care provider who cares- Family Medicine ,

share this! June 21, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlighted the following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked peer-reviewed publication trusted source Reduced infections seen in CLL and NHL patients undergoing immunoglobulin testing and replacement therapyby American Society of Hematology ![Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain blood](https://scx1.b-cdn.net/csz/news/800a/2023/blood.jpg) Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) who received frequent tests for immunoglobulin G (IgG) were less likely to experience severe infections compared with those who didn't, according to a study published in Blood Advances . Moreover, only half of patients undergo such testing. Patients with blood cancers such as CLL and NHL are at elevated risk for potentially life-threatening infections due to low blood levels of immunoglobulins—proteins that help the immune system fight off infections. As many as one-half of patients with CLL and a third of those with NHL die from infection complications. Studies have shown that immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT) reduces both recurrent and severe infections, potentially saving patients' lives. In the present study, those who received IgRT had fewer infections, required fewer antimicrobial medications, and had higher blood levels of IgG, the most common type of immunoglobulin, following the administration of IgRT. "This is the first large, real-world study to examine current practices in IgG testing and the use of IgRT among patients with CLL and NHL," said Jacob D. Soumerai, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center and Harvard Medical School and the study's lead investigator. "Our most striking finding is that real-world practice is highly variable. We found that many patients are not tested for IgG deficiency, and IgRT is often not given despite the development of recurrent infections." Moreover, frequent IgG testing is associated with a reduction in subsequent development of severe infections, he added. For the study, Dr. Soumerai and his colleagues analyzed medical records of 17,192 adult patients treated for CLL (3,920) or NHL (13,232) at one of eight affiliated hospitals in the Boston area between 2010 and 2023. Median patient follow-up in the database was four and a half years. The patients' de-identified data was obtained from the Mass General Brigham Research Patient Data Registry. The average patient age was 66; 58% were male and 90% were white. Among patients with NHL, 51.2% underwent IgG testing and 4.7% received IgRT; among those with CLL, 67% received IgG testing and 6.5% were treated with IgRT. Among patients who received at least one IgG test, the researchers compared blood levels of IgG, the proportion of patients with IgG levels below 500 mg/dL (deemed low), the rate of infections, and the use of antimicrobial medications at three, six, and 12 months before and after the first time each patient received IgRT. The results were similar across patient subgroups (e.g., males vs. females), blood cancer type, and type of treatment received. Dr. Soumerai and his colleagues also found that increased IgG testing is associated with a significantly lower risk of subsequently developing severe infection. After adjusting for potential confounders, patients with CLL and NHL who had three or more preceding IgG tests had 92% and 86% lower odds of later developing a severe infection, respectively. "Within each disease cohort, patients with three or more IgG tests were more likely to have low IgG detected and also more likely to receive IgRT," said Dr. Soumerai. "These findings suggest that patients known to have low levels of IgG might be more likely to communicate recurrent minor infections to their hematologists, leading to improved IgRT use." Although clinical guidelines from various professional medical societies generally recommend IgG testing, specific recommendations regarding when and how often patients should be tested vary widely and, as the study revealed, IgG testing practices vary among hematologists caring for patients with CLL and NHL. In both patient cohorts, the number of IgG tests per patient spanned a wide range, with many patients not receiving any IgG testing during the study period. "This underlines the urgent need to establish clear consensus on best practices for IgG testing and IgRT use in patients with CLL and NHL, to reduce recurrent infections in our patients," Dr. Soumerai said. This study is limited in that it is retrospective and only included patients treated in the Mass General Brigham health care system; it did not capture patients who may have received IgRT outside of this network. Furthermore, most of the patients in the registry were white and thus not fully representative of the U.S. population.
