Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), manmade chemicals that accumulate in the body over time, have been linked to liver disease and cancer, but it is not yet clear how they cause damage.

The liver is one of the most essential organs in the human body, performing critical functions such as detoxifying blood, metabolising nutrients and medications, producing bile, and supporting the ...

Extracorporeal liver cross-circulation (ELC) using genetically modified pig livers may address an unmet need for temporary liver support in patients with acute or acute-on-chronic liver failure. This ...

The goal of the Human Liver Cell Atlas (HLiCA) is to create a comprehensive map that defines the normal functions of diverse liver cell types and their spatial relationships over the human lifespan.

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew in the 1966 science fiction classic "Fantastic Voyage"—one of their first ...

A multidisciplinary team from China has successfully transplanted a gene-modified pig liver into a human recipient diagnosed with brain death. During a 10-day observation period, the porcine liver ...
