In a demonstration that could help pave the way for gene therapies with fewer side effects, several human cell types have ...

Scientists have advanced human-animal chimera research by successfully growing human cells within the organs of mice. This development could bring experts closer to the goal of custom-growing human ...

An international team of researchers bioengineering human liver tissues uncovered previously unknown networks of genetic-molecular crosstalk that control the organ's developmental processes – greatly ...

Close-up of a human liver lobule highlighting GLUL (glutamine synthetase) + liver cells surrounding the central vein (grey), with intensity-based pseudocoloring of CD32b expression showing the highest ...

As part of their effort to answer a decades-old biological question about how the hepatitis B virus (HBV) can establish an infection in liver cells, researchers led by teams at Memorial Sloan ...

Liver infections may not make headlines like the flu or COVID-19, but they quietly impact hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV) are masters of persistence, ...

Toxic “forever chemicals” are altering human liver function at a fundamental level by triggering both fat accumulation and cancer-linked cell damage, a new study has found. Several of these compounds, ...
