A new machine learning model built using a simple and interpretable approach predicts in-hospital death in patients with acute liver failure and reveals top risk drivers.

A new mouse model mimicking the liver symptoms of myotonic dystrophy type 1 -- the most prevalent form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy -- provides insight into why patients develop fatty liver ...

Periportal assembloid, with the three component cell types visualized: cholangiocytes in pink, portal fibroblasts in green, and hepatocyte nuclei in blue; all cell borders are visualized in white. New ...

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct ...

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 ...

The long-term stasis of blood in the liver, known as chronic liver congestion, can lead to a range of diseases, some of which ...

Explore the serious implications of liver congestion and its connections to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer in recent ...

Since the adoption of a new model for assessing the severity of liver disease, women are more likely to be added to the waitlist for a liver transplant, more likely to receive a transplant, and less ...

The paper S. Hoehme et al., “Prediction and validation of cell alignment along microvessels as order principle to restore tissue architecture in liver regeneration,” PNAS, 107:10371-76, 2010. Free ...
