Using human induced pluripotent stem cells, researchers have built a miniature 3D liver model that replicates the critical interaction between hepatocytes and stellate cells. As chronic liver disease ...

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct ...

Liver disease is a major global health problem, causing over two million deaths worldwide each year. While animal models have ...

Professor Yohan Kim of Sungkyunkwan University and the Max Planck Institute research team recreated the structure and ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), engineers developed a new liver tissue model to help reveal the stages of liver regeneration in hopes to help those individuals with liver disease, ...

Scientists from Uppsala University and several other research institutions have created a personalized human liver model that can significantly improve the diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as ...

Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion (ADME) are important parameters to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of a drug, and therefore a crucial measurement for drug efficacy. Animal ...

Researchers have recently created a blood test that can detect liver disease years before symptoms ever develop, helping pave the way for the diagnosis of diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer ...

AMES, Iowa – At a Biotechnology Council event a few years ago, Nicole Valenzuela’s ears perked up when she heard what a group of researchers in Iowa State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine ...
