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, ...

A new machine learning model built using a simple and interpretable approach predicts in-hospital death in patients with acute liver failure and reveals top risk drivers.

The market is experiencing a significant transition from traditional 2D cell cultures to more sophisticated 3D liver models and liver-on-chip microfluidic systems. These new-generation systems better ...

UAB surgeons have completed Alabama’s first living-donor liver transplant, expanding lifesaving options for patients facing ...

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 ...

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 new mouse model mimicking the liver symptoms of myotonic dystrophy type 1 -- the most prevalent form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy -- provides insight into why patients develop fatty liver ...

Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) remains a leading cause of cirrhosis and liver-related mortality worldwide, with few effective therapies.

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 ...

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 ...
