A collaborative research team has successfully developed a novel fluorescent probe, SLY (Sialyl Lewis Yellow), capable of ...

In fatty liver disease, for example, blocking access to pyruvate entry into mitochondria could encourage the body to use potentially dangerous fat that has been stored in liver cells.

The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that hepatic stellate cells control liver metabolism as well as liver regeneration and size.

Hepatic stellate cells are located along the specialized blood capillaries of the liver, known as sinusoids. They are known to drive liver fibrosis, but their actual physiological functions and ...

A recent review published in eGastroenterology discusses recent advancements in understanding alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). The article provides a comprehensive overview of current ...

Scientists have discovered a new type of cell in the liver that plays a critical role in repairing damage.
