A US biotechnology company has 3D printed a tiny functioning liver in the lab that survived just over five days -- more than twice the life expectancy of 2D versions. Presenting the results at the ...

The effectiveness of non-clinical drug safety predictions is enhanced by the adoption of three-dimensional (3D) cellular models. 3D bioprinting enables the generation of complex models with spatial ...

Steatotic liver disease (commonly called fatty liver disease) progresses silently. Even in the absence of noticeable symptoms, changes begin to unfold inside the liver. While hepatic fat accumulation ...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is becoming the most common chronic liver disorder in developed countries. Histological analysis of liver tissue is the only widely accepted test for diagnosing and ...

A simulated study by researchers at Western University and Lawson Health Research Institute has found a new system that uses ultrasound to construct 3D-images could make treatment of liver cancer, ...

Close-up of a human liver lobule highlighting GLUL (glutamine synthetase) + liver cells surrounding the central vein (grey), with intensity-based pseudocoloring of CD32b expression showing the highest ...

Picture this: a 3D printer that can build a viable human organ at the push of a button. Sounds futuristic, but Dallas researchers are aiming to make that a reality. UT Southwestern Medical Center ...

In a bid to gain further understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a team of researchers has created 3D bioprinted liver models. MASH, ...

Metabolic dysfunction--associated steatohepatitis or MASH (formerly known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) is an inflammatory, liver-scarring disease that affects 1.5% to 6.5% of all U.S. adults.

Though an essential gateway to the liver, NTCP had not been well described until now. Na+-taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) is a protein located exclusively in the membrane of liver ...

A stained micrograph of 3D primary human liver cell tissue modeling MASH. Areas of fibrosis are indicated in blue. Image courtesy of Viscient Biosciences. Metabolic dysfunction- associated ...
