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 ...

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 ...

Explore the serious implications of liver congestion and its connections to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer in recent ...

The long-term stasis of blood in the liver, known as chronic liver congestion, can lead to a range of diseases, some of which ...

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 ...

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 ...

Assessing the toxicity of food contaminants—including carcinogenic potential—is a major challenge in evaluating the risks associated with exposure. In recent years, as part of efforts to reduce animal ...

The paper S. Hoehme et al., “Prediction and validation of cell alignment along microvessels as order principle to restore tissue architecture in liver regeneration,” PNAS, 107:10371-76, 2010. Free ...

Dr. Vadim Jucaud's lab at the Terasaki Institute has developed a vascularized liver tissueoid-on-a-chip (LToC) platform that ...
