The strong cytotoxic activity of our UCB-derived NK cells against various tumor cell lines as well as the cytolysis of primary AML cells were displayed by specific lysis, CD107a-mediated degranulation and the production of IFNγ.

Functional analysis showed that these ex vivo-generated NK cells efficiently target myeloid leukemia and melanoma tumor cell lines, and mediate cytolysis of primary leukemia cells at low NK-target ratios.

Conversely, despite a significant reduction of cytolysis levels by 23. 22\% and of IR by 21. 4\%, valsartan did not improved liver histology (except steatosis) and had no effect on plasma lipids.
-
They compared the efficacy of telmisartan vs valsartan in a randomized double blind pilot trial assessing insulin resistance, cytolysis and NASH activity score (NAS) in 54 patients with NASH and mild-to moderate hypertension.
-
By observing in clinical conditions significant reduction of insulin resistance by both ARBs, as well as a moderate decrease of cytolysis, the study confirms that ARBs not only can correct hypertension, but also can act by preventing and treating steatohepatitis as an end-organ effect of metabolic syndrome.

The Ruhl method involved enzymatic dissociation of myenteric plexus samples, the purification of enteric glial cells via complement-mediated cytolysis of contaminating cells, and transformation by retroviral gene transfer.

The group followed-up the patients for 20 months observing that although serum aminotransferases did not normalize in either group, telmisartan reduced cytolysis by 30. 28\% and improved insulin resistance by 42. 63\% consequently with a significant decrease of NAS and fibrosis scores and an amelioration of the lipid profile.
