People with compromised liver function may be able to reduce their risk of liver cancer or slow its progression with a simple ...
Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...
The area under the curve (AUC) of fibrosis-4 in detection of advanced liver fibrosis (liver stiffness measurements ≥12 kPa) across the spectrum of CLivD lab (upper panel) and CLivD non-lab (lower ...
A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unknown compensatory mechanism found in liver disease. If Kupffer cells (KCs), a specific kind of immune cells found in the liver, become impaired by ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising dual identity of stellate cells—star-shaped liver cells once known only for causing liver scarring. Before they turn destructive, these cells act as crucial ...
