We face a reproducibility crisis and computational science, with most published models neither being accessible nor reproducible. The Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) is the de facto standard format for encoding pathway based models, which provides a means for exchanging process based models between researchers and tools. The talk gives an overview of SBML and SBML-based tools.

Assessment of liver function is a key task in hepatology but accurate quantification of hepatic function has remained a clinical challenge. Dynamic liver function tests are a promising tool for the non-invasive evaluation of liver function in vivo. Quantitative dynamical liver function tests evaluate the function of the liver via the clearance of a given test substance, thereby providing in vivo information on the metabolic capacity of the liver. Here, we present recent results in establishing ...

In the growing elderly societies, the incidence of primary and secondary liver tumors is continuously increasing. Surgical interventions like partial liver resections are often the only curative therapy removing more than 70% of the total liver mass. In humans, 20% to 30% of the remaining liver is required for liver regeneration. Successful restoration of the liver mass ultimately depends on the regenerative and metabolic capacity of the hepatocytes in the remnant liver. This, however, might be ...
