…existing method for evaluating medication-related liver damage does not accurately reflect the true liver toxicity—or its absence—of certain drugs. Historically, the potential of a drug to harm the liver, known…

Miniature liver made from human skin cells turned stem cells turned specialized liver cells and seeded into a rat liver scaffold. Credit: UPMC Using skin cells from human volunteers, researchers…

…the liver. Many types of cancer, including colon and pancreatic, tend to metastasize to the liver. The earlier doctors can find these tumors, the more likely that they can successfully…

…diabetes, fatty liver disease and liver cancer, and even infectious diseases such as COVID-19, in humans. “For many TRE clinical interventions, the primary outcome is weight loss, but we’ve found…

…cancer. Hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of liver cancer, has a poor prognosis, and surgical treatment by removing part of the liver or transplanting a healthy liver is not…

…Pancreatic Cancer The research, published in Science Advances and funded by Barts Charity and Cancer Research UK, found that many patients’ pancreatic cancer contains cells called amoeboid cells. These are aggressive,…

Researchers discovered a new method to protect the liver from fat buildup, offering potential treatments for alcoholic liver disease (ALD) and other fatty liver diseases. A team of researchers at…

…carcinoma, which is a type of liver cancer). There was also limited evidence for cancer in experimental animals and limited evidence related to the possible mechanisms for causing cancer. Daily…

…after being modified in the liver through a process called bioactivation. “A lot of chemicals actually are inert until they get metabolized by the liver,” Ngo says. “In the liver…

…combat cancer. The liver converts dietary fructose into nutrients that feed tumor growth, linking high-fructose consumption to cancer progression. This finding highlights both dietary caution and potential new cancer treatments….

…therapies. Primary hepatocytes grown in 3-D microfluidic “liver-on-a-chip” platform following infection with hepatitis B virus. Marcus Dorner/Imperial College London However, the Imperial team showed that the liver-on-a-chip technology could be…

…not the surface growth simulations. One of the limitations of the study is that it focused on liver cancer, so the findings might not apply universally to all types of…

…School of Medicine. “This leads to less fructose spillover to the liver, preventing fructose-induced fatty liver disease and insulin resistance. Inulin also helps the liver make more of its antioxidant…

…taken two distinct approaches to modeling cancer. One is to grow immortalized human cancer cells known as cancer cell lines in a lab dish. “We’ve learned a lot by studying…

…underway in patients with liver cancer. Nanoparticles tend to accumulate in the liver, spleen and lungs, so liver cancer is a natural target — but it has been difficult to…

…protein that controls many biological pathways in the liver and other organs. “We know that fasting can be an effective intervention to treat disease and improve liver health. But we…

…pancreatic cancer in mice by combining a high-fat ketogenic diet with a targeted cancer therapy. The therapy works by blocking the cancer cells’ ability to metabolize fat, effectively cutting off…

…useful to study cell fate and differentiation. Abnormal cell division in the liver Within the liver, there are many hepatocytes that contain two (or even more) times the DNA of…
