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 ...

San Antonio has one of the highest rates of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in the United States, largely driven by high rates of obesity and diabetes in the region.

What if cutting off a tumor’s fat supply could also rally the immune system to join the fight? Liver cancer fueled by fatty liver disease is on the rise, and with low survival rates, new treatment ...

Organoids are small-scale models that mimic human organs. These models could help scientists understand diseases and test treatments, and potentially aid in regenerative therapeutic methods. Organoids ...

A novel 3D cell culture method has been developed that encourages liver progenitor cells to self-organize and form blood vessel networks for the first time. The development of accurate liver organoids ...

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...
