University of Queensland-led research has revealed liver cells influence the body's internal circadian clock, which was previously believed to be solely controlled by the brain. Associate Professor ...

The circadian clock is fundamental to healthy metabolism and is determined by a central pacemaker in the brain. Peripheral clocks are found in almost all organs and are set to the central clock by ...

Liver fibrosis is a progressive and potentially reversible condition that results from chronic liver damage, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including metabolic dysfunction-associated ...

A team from Barcelona discovered that two existing drugs can safely reverse liver fat buildup in MASLD. The combination targets multiple pathways, potentially transforming treatment for fatty ...

3D-printing human organs will save lives once perfected. Over 100,000 people are currently on a transplant waiting list, and 18 people die every day in the United States waiting to receive a ...

A mushroom-based supplement called AHCC may prevent the onset of liver fibrosis by targeting key cells before they trigger scarring and damage. With no current cure for cirrhosis, this discovery could ...

The liver is responsible for many metabolic, endocrine and exocrine functions. Approximately 2 million deaths per year are associated with liver failure. Modern 3D bioprinting technologies allied with ...

Altered liver function markers appeared associated with Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and impaired memory and executive function, as well as amyloid-, tau and neurodegenerative biomarkers of Alzheimer ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is the most common liver disease in the world, affecting about one-third of the adult population. This disorder is characterized by the ...
