More than 100 million people in the United States suffer from metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD ...

A type of cell responsible for repairing damaged liver tissue has been uncovered for the first time by scientists. The study, showing how these newfound cells migrate to the site of damage, provides ...

Long-term heavy drinking can seriously damage your liver, but new research is shedding light on why the liver sometimes can’t repair itself, even after someone quits alcohol. Scientists from the ...

A new study has found that MET (hepatocyte growth factor receptor) signaling plays a critical protective role in acetaminophen-induced acute liver failure (ALF). This pathway is shown to work as a ...

The liver is an extraordinary organ. It detoxifies the body every day without needing a cleanse, a tea or a reset.

Using human induced pluripotent stem cells, researchers have built a miniature 3D liver model that replicates the critical interaction between hepatocytes and stellate cells. As chronic liver disease ...

Our livers contain many different types of immune cells. New research by the team of Prof. Charlotte Scott (VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research) and colleagues now reveals that a specific ...

When the liver fails to clear toxic nitrogen waste, it can fuel liver cancer. Damaged urea cycle enzymes cause ammonia to ...
