Spatial biology technologies are reshaping modern biomedical research by enabling the visualization of cellular organization ...

Liver fibrosis represents an important pathological stage during chronic hepatopathy development, posing a significant threat to human health. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), an essential hepatic ...

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 ...

Acute rejection (AR) is a significant complication in liver transplantation, impacting graft function and patient survival. Kupffer cells (KCs), liver-specific macrophages, can polarize into ...

Results overturn assumptions about the body's primary structural building block, opening potential new avenues for treating fibrosis and cancer.

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

Professor Anna Dowbaj wants to understand how the liver ages and regenerates. To do so, the biologist uses organoids: tiny, lab-grown models of ...

A groundbreaking study from IIT Bombay reveals a new cellular mechanism that reduces harmful blood lipids while preventing fat buildup in the liver, paving the way for innovative treatments for ...
