Liver rupture and abdominal bleeding led to a hemophilia B diagnosis in a newborn in China, according to a case report.

The plasminogen activation system (PAS) is primarily responsible for the degradation of fibrin clots as well as extracellular matrix remodeling. Many components of the PAS are produced by the liver, ...

The human body has an extraordinary ability to heal. However, sometimes, the body's repair system does more harm than good. This is the case with chronic liver disease, where repeated injury triggers ...

As chronic liver disease becomes more widespread, researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a lab-grown organoid that replicates a regenerating liver, offering new hope for future treatments. The ...

Fatty liver disease is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver. The condition can either be caused by obesity, or poor lifestyle (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease), or alcohol abuse ...

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.

In other words, when the liver is damaged repeatedly (by alcohol, virus, fatty liver disease or other factors) it triggers the activation of the cells in this case the hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).

This study addresses an important question in liver biology: how zonal hepatocytes balance survival and proliferation following injury; using spatial transcriptomics, mechanistic perturbations, and ...
