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)
New mutation that causes atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome identified
Researchers from the University of Newcastle, UK, have identified a novel genetic change that causes one form of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) a rare, chronic disease that causes kidney failure and which can run in families. view more (2006-10-31)
Cortisol and fatty liver: Researchers find cause of severe metabolic disorders
A healthy body stores fat in the form of so-called triglycerides in specialized fatty tissue as an energy reserve. Under certain conditions the delicate balance of the lipid metabolism gets out of control and fat is accumulated in the liver, leading to the dreaded fatty liver. view more (2008-09-10)
Sweat may pass on hepatitis B in contact sports
Sweat may be another way to pass on hepatitis B infection during contact sports, suggests research published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. view more (2007-03-02)
Test predicts risk of liver scarring after transplant, study shows
An estimated 20 percent of people with chronic hepatitis C who receive a liver transplant will develop advanced cirrhosis, scarring of the new organ severe enough to impair its ability to function normally within five years of transplantation. view more (2005-10-06)
A breath of fresh air could improve drug toxicity screening
A team led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers has developed an innovative way to culture liver cells for drug toxicity screening. view more (2009-09-03)
Cycles of cell death, proliferation key to liver cancer
Research at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine shows that liver cancer is likely caused by cycles of liver cell death and renewal. view more (2006-06-23)
Iron overload
One in every three hundred people in the US and UK has the potential to develop hemochromatosis, a disorder which overloads the body with iron. So why do only some of them go on to develop the disease? American scientists have been studying the genetic make-up of patients with hemochromatosis, a potentially fatal disease. Sufferers have high... view more... (2001-04-04)
Feedback loop found that could forestall liver disease
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that the small intestine communicates with the liver to control the production of bile acids-a finding that has great medical implications in treating people at risk for certain types of liver disease. view more (2005-10-12)
Estrogen protects liver after traumatic injury
Researchers have identified the receptor pathway used by estrogen to decrease liver injury after trauma and hemorrhage. view more (2007-04-02)
MR-Guided Laser Effective in Treating Liver Tumors
A large-scale, 12-year study has found that laser ablation with magnetic resonance (MR) guidance is as effective as traditional surgery in the treatment of liver tumors in some patients. view more (2005-11-30)
Good news for some hard-to-treat hepatitis C patients
In a multi-center trial led by a Saint Louis University researcher, investigators found that a new combination therapy of daily consensus interferon and ribavirin helps some hepatitis C patients who have not responded to previous treatment. view more (2009-06-16)
Extending treatment after liver transplant may benefit patients with hepatitis C recurrence
Extending hepatitis C treatment for liver transplant patients beyond current practice results in high rates of clearance of the hepatitis C virus from the blood, as well as a low rate of relapse, according to a Henry Ford Hospital study. view more (2009-11-02)
Penn researchers find targeted therapy combination overcomes treatment resistance in liver cancer
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Abramson Cancer Center reported today at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research that combining two targeted therapies overcomes treatment resistance in liver cancer cell lines. The team is currently designing a trial to test the combination in patients. view more (2008-04-14)
Model tissue system reveals cellular communication via amino acids
A team of researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Engineering in Medicine (MGH-CEM) has found the first evidence of cell-to-cell communication by amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, rather than by known protein signaling agents such as growth factors or cytokines. view more (2009-04-06)
Bypassing the insulin highway
An immune cell known as a neutrophil releases a protein that can suppress glucose production in the liver -without targeting insulin, researchers have found. view more (2008-04-28)
A new finding in liver transplantation and antifibrinolytics?
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is associated with severe bleeding and considerable transfusion requirements. There are several reasons for this severe bleeding in OLT. Hemostatic abnormalities remain a major cause. view more (2008-03-13)
A promising new approach to cadmium induced hepatoxicity: Cytoprotective effect of midkine
Cadmium comes from a wide variety of sources in the environment and from industry and is extremely toxic to humans. Environmental exposure can occur via the diet and drinking water. view more (2008-01-17)
Liver disease breakthrough by new University company
Ref: 03/49 14 April 2003 A new spin-out company from the University of Southampton aims to revolutionise the diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C and save the NHS millions of pounds. HepCgen has been founded by liver disease specialist Dr William Rosenberg, who has worked and researched in this... view more... (2003-04-14)
Are angiotensins involved in the hemodynamic changes of cirrhosis patients?
Liver cirrhosis has been recently studied in the light of the new view of the renin angiotensin system (RAS). view more (2009-06-12)
