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, ...

As rates of obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea increase, cases of advanced chronic liver disease ...

Three-dimensional multicellular human liver model: For the first time, a 3D human organoid model, developed with liver tissue ...

By recreating a fetal liver niche, FLOs show how liver and immune cells co-develop. Learn more about new groundbreaking ...

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 ...

A 3D liver model was engineered by a team of researchers, that accurately replicates the connection between liver cells (hepatocytes) and scarring cells (stellate cells) in the condition of fibrosis.

The liver is the only internal organ that can regenerate itself. Remarkably, even if 70 percent of the liver is removed, its tissue can regrow into a full-sized organ within a matter of months. By ...

A team at Baylor College of Medicine and other institutions has developed a novel mouse model that reproduces many key features of human non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a little-understood ...

Scientists identify measurable cellular changes that flag higher cancer risk more than a decade before tumors appear. In ...

Periportal assembloid, with the three component cell types visualized: cholangiocytes in pink, portal fibroblasts in green, and hepatocyte nuclei in blue; all cell borders are visualized in white. New ...
