Once one of these organs fails, especially without successful resuscitation, it triggers a rapid domino effect. The others ...

These organoids provide scientists with better models for studying liver biology, and for developing treatments for various liver disorders.

In the short term, these multi-zonal liver organoids will help scientists shed new light on diseases including diabetes, drug-induced liver injury, alcohol-related liver disease, and viral hepatitis.

The liver is the body's control tower for metabolism, powering vital functions like converting nutrients to glucose, storing fat and breaking down toxins. Over a third of the world, however, is ...

“This is the first time we tried to unravel whether the pig liver could work well in the human body and … whether it could replace the original human liver in the future. It is our dream to ...

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 ...

In the US last year, surgeons at the University of Pennsylvania attempted that sort of "bridge" support by externally attaching a pig liver to a brain-dead human body to filter blood, much like ...
