we have been able to create a cell atlas of the healthy human liver. Our research makes a valuable contribution to the field of hepatology in order to better understand human diseases such as ...

Liver cells, or hepatocytes, take on these many tasks by a divide-and-conquer strategy, also called zonation. This separates ...

The mammalian liver has an extraordinary regenerative capacity, capable of fully restoring its mass and function after injury ...

The newly-discovered cells help shed light on how the liver repairs itself after damage. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.

Today, LyGenesis announced that an initial volunteer has received an injection of donor cells to turn one of their lymph nodes into a second liver. The procedure was carried out in Houston on ...

Their approach is to inject liver cells from a donor into the lymph nodes of sick recipients, which can give rise to entirely new miniature organs. These mini livers should help compensate for an ...

It’s thought that for every 50 million cells a patient receives, they will grow one mini liver, meaning the highest dose group could end up with five extra livers.

The aging and failure of cells that occurs when the liver is damaged can spread to other organs, suggests a new study in mice and humans from researchers at UCL, the University of Edinburgh and ...

"You can make a whole organ that can be functional from one cell of the skin." Meanwhile, organ transplants can be prohibitively expensive. In 2017, patients receiving a liver transplant were ...

And does the location of a cell in the organ make a difference to the aging process? The location of the liver cells has a strong influence on the aging process. In the region of the liver where ...
