Scientists have corrected an extremely rare and life-threatening genetic disease of the liver in mouse models and human patient cells, using the gene-editing approach that served as the basis for the ...

A rogue set of “zombie” immune cells may be driving aging and fatty liver disease by flooding tissues with inflammation. Researchers found these cells accumulate with age and high cholesterol—and can ...

Scientists succeed in reversing liver damage by removing key aged cells, p21-TREM2, that cause inflammation and fat ...

Alcohol doesn’t just damage the liver — it locks its cells in a strange “in-between” state that prevents them from healing. Even after someone quits drinking, liver cells often get stuck, unable to ...

UCLA researchers have identified a rogue population of immune cells that quietly accumulates in aging tissues and in the livers of people with fatty liver disease. Clearing these cells, they found, ...

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew in the 1966 science fiction classic "Fantastic Voyage"—one of their first ...

Many people who die from sepsis die of organ failure, including liver failure, which is a common, often fatal complication. For many years, the underlying causes and mechanisms of sepsis-induced liver ...

Weizmann Institute, Sheba Medical Center, and Mayo Clinic researchers find differences in human and mouse livers; study can ...
