Liver cancer is one of the world's deadliest cancers, and most cases are linked to chronic viral hepatitis. Yet scientists have lacked an animal model that faithfully recapitulates how the disease ...

Intermittent fasting—abstaining from eating for lengthy periods of time—spurs liver cells in laboratory mice to divide rapidly, according to a study led by researchers at Stanford Medicine. The ...

Histological image of a tumor from the first mouse model in which chronic viral infection progresses to liver cancer, closely ...

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 ...

Scientists from Children’s Medical Research Institute (CMRI) have successfully tested adeno-associated viral vector-based (AAV) gene therapies in whole human livers in the lab. The study, which is ...

A US biotechnology company has 3D printed a tiny functioning liver in the lab that survived just over five days -- more than twice the life expectancy of 2D versions. Presenting the results at the ...

In a breakthrough that brings bioengineered organs one step closer to reality, scientists have created lab-grown liver tissue capable of forming its own blood vessels. A team from Cincinnati ...

Ranked as the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, liver cancer is associated with a poor prognosis if caught in later stages. But long before liver disease develops into cancer, evidence ...
