A research team has identified the transcription factor Lhx2 (LIM homeobox protein 2) as a key regulator in hepatic stellate cells. Lhx2 was found to simultaneously promote liver regeneration and ...

Mitochondrial stress disrupts insulin production in diabetes, but reversing the damage may restore β-cell function.

Researchers developed a new gene-editing strategy that dramatically boosts the effectiveness of gene therapies in the liver, a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments for about 700 genetic ...

Feb. 6, 2025 — The research found that heavy drinkers with either diabetes, high blood pressure or a high waist circumference are as much as 2.4 times more likely to develop advanced liver ...

Parse Biosciences, the leader in high-throughput single cell sequencing, today announced the launch of Evercode™ WT Penta and Penta 384, the first single cell RNA sequencing kits to profile 5 million ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs when excess fat accumulates in liver cells in people who consume little or no alcohol. NAFLD is associated with various metabolic risk factors ...

Chemistry researchers at Case Western Reserve University have identified specific markers that could pave the way for new ...

Mammoth Biosciences researchers have developed NanoCas, an ultracompact CRISPR nuclease, demonstrating its ability to perform ...

The leading cause is a viral infection with hepatitis B or C virus. The most frequent liver cancers are hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatoblastoma (formed by immature liver cells).

Researchers have found, for the first time, that a cancer outside the brain makes electrical connections with the nervous system to fuel cancer growth and aid its spread.

Luminescent gold nanoparticles (L-AuNPs) represent a novel class of luminescent nanomaterials that have attracted ...
