Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for decreasing AIAT mRNA and protein expression and treating, ameliorating, preventing, slowing progression, or stopping progression of fibrosis. Disclosed herein are methods for decreasing AIAT mRNA and protein expression and treating, ameliorating, preventing, slowing progression, or stopping progression of liver disease, such as, AIATD associated liver disease, and pulmonary disease, such as, AIATD associated pulmonary disease in an individual in need thereof. Methods for inhibiting AIAT mRNA and protein expression can also be used as a prophylactic treatment to prevent individuals at risk for developing a liver disease, such as, AIATD associated liver disease and pulmonary disease, such as, AIATD associated pulmonary disease.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are antisense compounds and methods for modulating TMPRSS6 and modulating an iron accumulation disease, disorder and/or condition in an individual in need thereof. Iron accumulation diseases in an individual such as hemochromatosis or ?-thalassemia can be ameliorated or prevented with the administration of antisense compounds targeted to TM-PRSS6.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods, compounds, and compositions for reducing expression of transthyretin mRNA and protein in an animal. Such methods, compounds, and compositions are useful to treat, prevent, delay, or ameliorate transthyretin amyloidosis, or a symptom thereof.

Abstract: A microfluidic chip for at least one of cell culturing and cell assay has a cell culture chamber defined by the microfluidic chip, a first microchannel defined by the microfluidic chip and constructed to provide a fluid path to said cell culture chamber, the microchannel having a pneumatic valve formed therein to permit selective opening and closing of a fluid path to said cell culture chamber, and a second microchannel defined by the microfluidic chip and constructed to provide a fluid path from the cell culture chamber.
