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 ...

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), engineers developed a new liver tissue model to help reveal the stages of liver regeneration in hopes to help those individuals with liver disease, ...

Metabolic dysfunction- associated steatohepatitis, or MASH, is an inflammatory, liver-scarring disease that has reached epidemic proportions, with an estimated 1.5% to 6.5% of U.S. adults afflicted by ...

Liver disease is a major global health problem, causing over two million deaths worldwide each year. While animal models have helped to understand liver biology, they often fail to accurately ...

In a breakthrough that brings bioengineered organs one step closer to reality, scientists have created lab-grown liver tissue capable of forming its own blood vessels. A team from Cincinnati ...

Researchers have recently created a blood test that can detect liver disease years before symptoms ever develop, helping pave the way for the diagnosis of diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer ...
