A new clinical trial will soon test if a pig liver can help people whose own livers have suddenly stopped working.

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 ...

U.S. researchers are about to test if livers from gene-edited pigs could treat people with sudden liver failure — not with a transplant but temporarily attached outside the body.

Introduction: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has emerged as a less invasive alternative to surgical liver resection (LR) for the treatment of colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) in patients who are not ...

Gallbladder disease includes inflammation, infection, stones or blockage of the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a sac located under the liver. It stores and concentrates bile produced in the liver.

Colorectal cancer is the fourth-most-common cancer in the U.S. and the second deadliest. One in 5 patients is diagnosed with metastatic disease, meaning the colorectal cancer has spread beyond the ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Liver transplants are becoming a new treatment option for certain colorectal cancer patients whose cancer has spread to their liver and are ineligible for other surgical ...

CNIO researcher María del Mar Rigual also wants future research to explore using glutamate supplements in humans who have undergone liver resection for tumor removal.

They included the removal of genes that mediate hyperacute rejection and the insertion of human genes to make the organ more compatible with the human body. When the transplant took place, it was not ...
