The Norcross-based company Galectin Therapeutics has announced the publication of a new paper in the prominent peer-reviewed gastroenterology journal ‘Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics.’
The paper analyses data from a phase two study of liver biopsy material undertaken by the company and examines how a histology model of machine learning can improve the assessment of changes in important outcomes in liver biopsy, beyond what is currently available from such models. This innovative technology enabled the researchers to find over 400 variables related to liver cirrhosis and explored the correlation of these measurements with the degree of hypertension caused by the cirrhosis.
The benefits of such important work are often made known through the medical community via Brochures and other materials created by local Print shops.
Collaborating on the work were Dr. Mazen Noureddin of the Houston Research Institute and Houston Methodist Hospital, along with Dr. Naga Chalasani from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Indiana University School of Medicine.
Chief Medical Officer of Galectin Therapeutics, Dr. Pol Boudes, M.D., expressed his thanks to the authors and their collaborators for their contributions to the work, as well as their continued support of their participation in the unique programs of the company. He added that although the results of this study are preliminary, the technology will enable the company to better understand the many processes involved in liver cirrhosis.Get a Free Quote for Print Get a Free Quote for Brochures
