The team successfully disrupted the virus’s ability to infect human liver cells in the laboratory using a chromatin-destabilizing molecule CBL137, which is already in clinical trials against cancer.

Researchers from Columbia University and the German Cancer Center have found that stellate cells—star-shaped liver cells long known as the main perpetrators in liver fibrosis—have a commanding role in ...

Through analysis of 83 human liver cancer specimens, the researchers identified a key enzyme called FBP1 that acts as a molecular switch in this process. When liver cells become stressed or ...

transforming into all the 200 or so kinds of cells that constitute a human body. Liver cells. Brain cells. Skin, bone, and nerve. The dream is to launch a medical revolution in which ailing organs ...

Until now, doctors knew hepatic stellate cells mainly as drivers of liver fibrosis. The actual functions of this cell type have hardly been studied to date. Researchers have now determined that ...

High levels of ammonia kill liver cells by damaging the mitochondria that power the cells. But this can be prevented using an existing drug due to start clinical trials, finds a new study in mice.

and so does the liver to accomplish its important biosynthetic functions. Despite their massive use as fuels, fatty acids are oxidized only in the mitochondria. But not all human cells possess ...

but they don’t fully clear the virus from infected cells, allowing the virus to persist in the liver and maintain chronic infection,” says Dr. Schwartz, whose lab contributed biological and clinical ...
