The investigation of virus-induced liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma needs small animal models modeling hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and liver disease biology. A recent study published in Cell Research reports a novel mouse model which is permissive for chronic HCV infection and shows chronic liver injury including inflammation, steatosis and fibrosis.
对病毒诱导的肝病和肝细胞癌的研究需要能够模拟丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染及肝病生物学特性的小动物模型。发表于《细胞研究》的一项近期研究报告了一种新型小鼠模型,该模型可允许慢性HCV感染,并呈现出包括炎症、脂肪变性和纤维化在内的慢性肝损伤。
