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.
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.
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.
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 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.
UCLA researchers have discovered how to reverse chronic fatty liver disease without diet changes, offering hope to up to 3.8 million Los Angeles residents. The breakthrough targets "zombie cells" that cause liver damage.
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 Stanford, MIT, and Cambridge are using Google DeepMind's Co-Scientist AI to accelerate breakthroughs in liver disease, aging, and infectious diseases. The system helps researchers digest decades of studies in days, spotting connections humans might miss.
Researchers at the University of Missouri just moved a groundbreaking liver cancer treatment into human trials after achieving 100% success in earlier testing. Tiny radioactive glass beads could give patients a safer, more precise way to fight tumors.
A high school junior just became a published medical researcher, analyzing surgical techniques that could help liver cancer patients live longer. His work passed the same peer review process as professional scientists.
Researchers in Israel discovered that two non-psychoactive cannabis compounds could treat fatty liver disease, which affects one in three adults worldwide and currently has no approved medication. The breakthrough could lead to the first drug treatment for a condition impacting millions.
Scientists discovered that two non-intoxicating cannabis compounds dramatically reduced liver fat and improved metabolic health in new research. The breakthrough offers hope for treating a disease affecting one-third of adults worldwide.
Researchers discovered that cancer-related weight loss stems from disrupted brain-liver communication, not just inflammation. This breakthrough could lead to reversible treatments that save lives.
New research shows popular weight loss drugs like Wegovy help prevent heart attacks and heal liver disease even in people who don't lose pounds. This discovery could change how millions access life-saving treatment.
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.
Researchers at UConn have patented a breakthrough treatment that could reverse fatty liver disease, a condition affecting billions worldwide with almost no current cure options. The innovative approach targets the root cause of the disease rather than just managing symptoms.
A groundbreaking immunotherapy treatment given before surgery is helping liver cancer patients beat the odds, with 60% surviving four years or more. Researchers in Taiwan discovered that priming the immune system before removing tumors creates a lasting defense against one of the deadliest cancers.
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.
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 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.
