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 ...

Using human liver samples and a mouse model of cirrhosis, researchers identified epigenetic overactivation of the inflammatory PAF–PAF-R pathway in hepatic macrophages as a key driver of liver damage.

Scientists have published a ground-breaking study of the structure and function of a central protein in the liver: NTCP, a cellular-entry pathway for bile salts, but also for certain hepatitis viruses ...

Scientists have identified a hidden barrier that prevents immunotherapy from working against a rare liver cancer. Immunotherapy, which activates the body’s own immune system to kill cancer cells, has ...

Researchers report that pairing two known medicines reduced liver fibrosis in mice, offering a possible path toward scar ...

The liver produces bile, which the intestine uses for digestion. For the transport of bile, the liver relies on a network of microscopic tubings, known as bile canaliculi, formed by liver cells called ...
