Scientists discovered that GDF15, a hormone known for weight loss, can actually shield the liver from dangerous inflammation through a completely separate pathway. This finding could help millions living with advanced fatty liver disease who still face inflammation even after losing weight.
Scientists at MIT have developed tiny injectable liver tissues that could save thousands of patients who can't get transplants. The "satellite livers" stayed healthy in mice for two months and performed essential liver functions.
Scientists at UCLA discovered that clearing out damaged immune cells reversed fatty liver disease in mice, even when they kept eating unhealthy food. The breakthrough could transform treatment for a condition affecting up to 40% of Los Angeles residents.
Israeli researchers created the first digital atlas of a healthy human liver, discovering it works in eight precise zones instead of three and functions differently from mice. The breakthrough will help scientists develop better treatments for liver diseases like fatty liver disease.
An experimental drug called DT-109 has reversed severe fatty liver disease in animals by repairing the gut barrier, offering hope for millions with MASH. The breakthrough targets the gut-liver connection rather than treating the liver alone.
Scientists discovered that a common vitamin found in most pharmacies could become a powerful treatment for fatty liver disease, which affects nearly one in three people worldwide. The breakthrough targets a specific genetic factor that drives the condition.
Researchers found why severely damaged livers stop healing even after patients quit drinking, opening the door to new treatments beyond transplants. The discovery could help thousands avoid liver failure.
Thousands waiting for liver transplants may soon have another option: tiny functioning livers injected through a syringe. MIT researchers developed a groundbreaking technique that could save lives without major surgery.
Researchers turned back the clock on aging livers by restoring youthful gut bacteria in older mice. None of the treated mice developed liver cancer, while untreated aging mice did.

Two cannabis compounds reversed liver damage in obese mice, offering new hope for millions with the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. Scientists are cautiously optimistic but say human trials are needed next.
Scientists at McMaster University discovered a hormone that protects the liver from inflammation through a brain pathway, offering new hope for millions with advanced fatty liver disease. The breakthrough reveals the body's own defense system could inspire treatments that work even when weight loss doesn't help.
Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University are developing breakthrough 3D-printed liver tissue that could help patients survive while waiting for transplants. The living patch could buy crucial time for diseased livers to heal themselves. #
Scientists at MIT built a tiny working liver model that could revolutionize how we find treatments for liver disease affecting over 100 million Americans. The breakthrough offers hope for discovering drugs that actually work for everyone.
Researchers at UConn have created a promising new therapy that could stop and even reverse fatty liver disease, a condition affecting billions globally with few current treatment options. The innovative approach targets a master regulator in the liver that controls over 1,000 genes crucial for metabolic function.
Scientists in Jerusalem discovered two non-psychoactive cannabis compounds dramatically reduced liver fat in lab studies, offering hope for the one-third of adults worldwide living with the most common chronic liver disease. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments for a condition with few approved medications.
Scientists have found that transplanting youthful gut bacteria into older mice reversed liver damage and suppressed a cancer-linked gene. This discovery could open new doors for treating age-related liver disease, which affects nearly 40% of adults.
A breakthrough study shows promise for liver transplant recipients to accept new organs without harsh lifelong medications. Scientists used special immune cells from donors to train patients' bodies to recognize transplanted livers as their own.
A 56-year-old man in China became the first living person surgically connected to a genetically modified pig liver, which kept him alive until a human organ became available. He's now recovering well after receiving a human liver transplant.
A Los Angeles mom of three has no evidence of disease three months after receiving a partial liver transplant from a close friend. Amy Piccioli's story showcases a rare lifesaving treatment for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver.
Scientists discovered that pairing two already-approved medications can reverse dangerous liver fat buildup and potentially reduce heart disease risk. The breakthrough could help one in three adults affected by the world's most common liver condition.
