How do the choline compounds change when apoptosis occurs?
Apoptosis is a programmed, active, highly selective mechanism of cell death. Abnormal regulation of apoptosis can lead to disorders such as cancer. The field of apoptosis research has undergone an explosion of new knowledge over the past decade. view more (2008-09-24)
Clearance of hepatitis C viral infection after liver transplantation
Touching stories of living donor transplantation are continuously happening in hospitals. One of these stories is reported recently in the August 14 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology because of its shining significance in hepatology. view more (2007-08-29)
Geisinger launches extensive study on obesity and related liver problem
Relying on one of the largest collections of liver tissue samples ever acquired by a single organization, Geisinger Health System researchers have embarked on a massive study of one of the fastest growing liver problems. view more (2007-04-17)
A rigorous method for liver biopsy
Liver biopsy is still considered the gold standard for grading, staging and "stad-ging" the chronic liver disease. In addition, it remains a primary source for acquiring new knowledge on the liver pathology. view more (2009-01-05)
June 25, 2009 A Trio of Signals Converge to Induce Liver and Pancreas Cell Development in the Embryo
Understanding the molecular signals that guide early cells in the embryo to develop into different organs provides insight into ways that tissues regenerate and how stem cells can be used for new therapies. view more (2009-06-29)
1 surgery better than 2 for some colorectal cancer patients
A single surgery to remove cancer from both the colon and the liver to which it has spread may be better in some cases than the current standard treatment of two separate surgeries with chemotherapy in between, according to a study led by Duke University Medical Center researchers. view more (2007-03-19)
Unexpected function for a key regulator of blood glucose levels
Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies then reported their discovery of a key cellular switch that instructs the liver to produce more glucose when blood sugar levels run low. view more (2005-11-10)
Metabolic bone disease in cirrhosis patients
Long-standing liver disease has long been recognized to result in fragile bones with increased risk of fractures. In various international studies, the overall incidence has varied from 11% to 48%, with a fracture rate of 3%-44%. view more (2009-08-10)
Artificial liver for drug tests
If you have hay fever, headaches or a cold, it's only a short way to the nearest chemist. The drugs, on the other hand, can take eight to ten years to develop. view more (2009-06-26)
UCSD researchers pave the way for effective liver treatments
A combination of bioengineering and medical research at the University of California, San Diego has led to a new discovery that could pave the way for more effective treatments for liver disease. view more (2009-10-12)
Grapefruit compound may help combat hepatitis C infection
A compound that naturally occurs in grapefruit and other citrus fruits may be able to block the secretion of hepatitis C virus (HCV) from infected cells, a process required to maintain chronic infection. view more (2008-02-05)
Second-hand smoking results in liver disease, study finds
A team of scientists at the University of California, Riverside has found that even second-hand tobacco smoke exposure can result in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a common disease and rising cause of chronic liver injury in which fat accumulates in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol. view more (2009-09-11)
Melatonin may be served as a potential anti-fibrotic drug
In China, the incidence of liver cirrhosis is still high. Liver cirrhosis results from fibrosis. If treated properly at fibrosis stage, cirrhosis can be prevented. view more (2009-03-31)
Key regulator of blood glucose levels discovered
In many patients with type 2 diabetes, the liver acts like a sugar factory on overtime, churning out glucose throughout the day, even when blood glucose levels are high. view more (2005-09-08)
Senescence in liver cells is found by CSHL scientists to help limit acute tissue damage
Although post-reproductive life in humans is often associated with decline and a loss of powers, an analogous state in certain cells -- called senescence -- is proving to be one of ironic potency. Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) today reported that a particular class of senescent liver cells orchestrates a sequence of events in... view more... (2008-08-22)
Researchers estimate significant fatty liver disease in children
Until now little was known about the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children. view more (2006-10-02)
Study shows no deeaths from living liver donors in Japan (pp 674, 687)
Issue 30 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 29 August 2003. Japanese research in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how liver donation from live donors-where part of a donor's liver is transplanted to a recipient-is not associated with mortality among donors, in contrast to this type of liver transplantation done in other parts... view more...

Hepatitis C complicated by morphine withdrawal
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated that morphine withdrawal complicates hepatitis C by suppressing IFN-alpha-mediated immunity and enhancing virus replication. view more (2005-10-31)
A gene for metastasis
Colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers in the Western world. The tumor starts off as a polyp but then turns into an invasive and violent cancer, which often spreads to the liver. view more (2007-08-28)
POOR PREDICTION OF OSTEOPOROSIS AFTER HEART OR LIVER TRANSPLANTATION (pp 325, 342)
The lack of identification of clear risk factors for osteoporotic fractures after organ transplantation reported in this week’s issue of THE LANCET suggests that future post-transplantation treatment should aim to prevent osteoporosis. Osteoporosis and related fractures are a major complication after organ transplantation. Gudrun... view more... (2001-01-31)
