What is this page?
This page lists the scientific contributions of an author, who either does not have a ResearchGate profile, or has not yet added these contributions to their profile.
It was automatically created by ResearchGate to create a record of this author's body of work. We create such pages to advance our goal of creating and maintaining the most comprehensive scientific repository possible. In doing so, we process publicly available (personal) data relating to the author as a member of the scientific community.
If you're a ResearchGate member, you can follow this page to keep up with this author's work.
If you are this author, and you don't want us to display this page anymore, please let us know.

The interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. ISG15-regulated proteins have previously been identified that putatively affect this proviral interaction. The present observational study aimed to elucidate the relation between ISG15 and these host factors during HCV infecti...
Hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis are major health problems worldwide. Up to now, highly invasive biopsy remains the diagnostic gold standard despite many disadvantages. In order to develop non-invasive diagnostic assays for the assessment of liver fibrosis it is urgently necessary to identify molecules which are robustly expressed in association with...

... 12 Furthermore, upregulated expression of ISG15 was observed at both the mRNA and protein levels in liver tissue samples from patients with HCV infection compared to the levels detected in uninfected controls. 13 Similarly, the abundance of ISG15 transcripts was found to be increased in human PBMCs and liver cells in patients with HCV infection who were unresponsive to IFN treatment compared to the levels in corresponding IFN-responsive patients. 14 In addition, high levels of ISG15 in the liver of patients with HCV infection were associated with an unfavourable HCV genotype 1, a high hepatic HCV load and a low antiviral response to IFN compared to patients who did not present such characteristics. ...
... Among the genes that increase in accessibility, we focused on those that exemplify the largest gain in accessibility by selecting the top 25th percentile of change in accessibility and lower 25th percentile of read counts in the control sample (Fig. 6A). Among those were homologs of known human liver fibrosis markers such as Apolipoprotein A-IV [54] or Fibulin-5 [55] (Fig. 6C, D). In clusters G and H we observe a decrease in promoter accessibility (Fig. 4D, Supp. ...
