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, ...

Liver disease is a major global health problem, causing over two million deaths worldwide each year. While animal models have helped to understand liver biology, they often fail to accurately ...

A new liver-on-a-chip made from natural collagen could offer a more realistic model for drug screening, as well as for the study of pathological diseases such as liver cancer and cirrhosis. The new ...

Competing machine-learning algorithms To predict the time of death, the model uses an array of clinical information from the donor including gender, age, body mass index, blood pressure, heart rate, ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Liver disease is a major global health problem, causing over two million deaths worldwide each year. While animal models have helped to understand liver biology, they often fail to accurately ...

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 ...
