Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are activated to heal the liver when it has a lesion (such as fibrosis or fatty liver); their ...

Today, LyGenesis announced that an initial volunteer has received an injection of donor cells to turn one of their lymph nodes into a second liver. The procedure was carried out in Houston on ...

Human–animal chimaeras are an exciting yet challenging area of research. Human cells are coaxed to grow in animal embryos, allowing researchers to study human tissue development. But the long-term ...

we have been able to create a cell atlas of the healthy human liver. Our research makes a valuable contribution to the field of hepatology in order to better understand human diseases such as ...

In response to chronic stimuli such as alcohol abuse, viral infection, NAFLD/NASH and toxic damage, liver loses its normal structure and non-parenchymal cells including HSCs, KCs and LSECs undergo ...

nerve cells or organ cells such as liver cells, the so-called hepatocytes. Stem cells can therefore be used, for example, in therapy for organ damage or as an alternative to animal experiments.

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 ...
