Scientists have corrected an extremely rare and life-threatening genetic disease of the liver in mouse models and human patient cells, using the gene-editing approach that served as the basis for the ...

A newly discovered type of liver cell may hold clues for treating severe liver disease, according to a recent study from the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute. The findings, published in ...

Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...

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 ...

Weizmann Institute, Sheba Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic researchers find differences in human and mouse livers; study can ...

The liver is remarkable for its ability to regenerate after injury, yet when this process fails, acute liver failure (ALF) carries devastating outcomes. Traditional research methods, reliant on bulk ...

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew in the 1966 science fiction classic "Fantastic Voyage"—one of their first ...
