Study shows high-fat diets give liver cancer a dangerous head start
Updated : 4 months, 3 weeks ago IST
A high-fat diet does more than overload the liver with fat. New research from MIT shows that prolonged exposure to fatty foods can push liver cells into a survival mode that quietly raises the risk of cancer.

Researchers discover causes of liver cell scarring
Updated : 7 months, 3 weeks ago IST
When damaged liver cells are replaced by scar tissue, hepatic fibrosis results. Cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer can arise as a result of cumulative scarring that, over time, restricts the blood flow to the liver. When the condition is severe, there is no other course of actio

Researchers find how liver cells become scarring, worse
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
Hepatic fibrosis happens when the liver's destroyed cells are replaced by scar tissue. Cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer may develop as a result of the liver's blood flow being disrupted over time by accumulated scarring. An organ transplant is the only option for treatment in

Researchers find how liver cells control biological clock
Updated : 3 years ago IST
To control their activity according to the time of day, organisms rely on a biological clock known as the 'circadian' clock. A central clock, made up of a collection of brain cells known as suprachiasmatic nuclei (SCN), synchronises the circadian clocks found in all of the body's organs, kno

Study reveals white blood cells role in clearing out dead liver cells
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The removal of liver cells that have undergone apoptosis, in which cells are intended to die in a controlled manner, maybe the function of a type of white blood cell typically linked to immunological responses to foreign particles.

Research: Potential new targets identified in non-alcoholic fatty liver di
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Researchers have uncovered novel candidate drug targets for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by using the latest technologies, including both single-nuclear sequencing of mice and human liver tissue and advanced 3D glass imaging of mice to characterize key scar-producing liver cells

Scientists map key protein structure of Hepatitis C virus
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A team led by scientists at Scripps Research and the University of Amsterdam has achieved an important goal in virology: mapping, at high resolution, critical proteins that stud the surface of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) and enable it to enter host cells.

Leprosy has potential to regenerate livers: Research
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Although leprosy is among the oldest and most enduring diseases in the world, the bacteria that cause it may also have a surprisingly strong capacity to grow and regenerate an essential organ.

Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Geneva [Switzerland], October 4 (ANI): One of the most severe and prevalent viral diseases is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It targets the liver cells after being transmitted by bodily fluids. Serious problems from the chronic form of the illness can develop such as cirrhosis and li
