Risk threshold of daily alcohol intake and drinking duration in liver injury?
Alcoholic threshold effect rather than a dose-response effect on mortality from alcohol-related liver injury. Alcohol intake, rather than the type of alcoholic beverage, was more significant to liver injury. view more (2008-05-21)
Researchers aim to cut future need for liver transplants
University of Edinburgh scientists have identified primitive liver cells —possibly dormant from the earliest developmental stage of a human being — which have the potential to mature into different cells types and help repair a failing liver. view more (2006-07-07)
Using contrast enhanced sonography improves diagnosis of liver and spleen injuries
Contrast-enhanced sonography shows liver and spleen injuries better than non-contrast enhanced sonography. view more (2006-10-02)
UCSD researchers identify critical receptor in liver regeneration
In studies in mouse models, researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have found that a cellular receptor involved in triggering cell death is also a necessary component of tissue repair and regeneration immediately following liver injury. view more (2007-03-30)
Why could prednisolone suppress the hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury?
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury is a serious complication but unavoidable problem in liver surgery including liver transplantation and hepatic resection. view more (2008-10-08)
UNC launches study of liver injury caused by drugs
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is one of five clinical centers nationwide to receive funds from the National Institutes of Health to study why good medications are sometimes bad for the liver. view more (2005-05-27)
A new light on the mechanisms of early stage liver reperfusion injury
Reperfusion of a previously ischemic tissue is associated with additional injury leading to structural and functional alterations in many organs including the liver. view more (2009-05-08)
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)
Penn State College of Medicine research isolates liver cancer stem cells prior to tumor formation
Penn State College of Medicine researchers, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Southern California, have taken an important step in understanding the role of stem cells in development of liver cancer. view more (2009-09-18)
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug increases liver damage in mice carrying mutant human gene
Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency isn't a term that rolls right off the tongue. But people diagnosed with this genetic disorder learn its potential effects well. view more (2006-11-16)
A novel method of isolating high quality RNA from Kupffer cells
Kupffer cells, resident tissue macrophages that line the liver sinusoids, play a key role in modulating inflammation in a number of experimental models of liver injury. view more (2009-04-17)
Severe sleep apnea may be a risk factor for liver damage
Many patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are obese and therefore at risk of having fatty liver, a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver cells. But the link between OSA and liver injury independent of weight has yet to be examined. view more (2005-05-25)
Is 31P MRS a useful tool for evaluating early acute hepatic radiation injury?
Acute hepatic radiation injury could lead to necrosis of hepatocytes, fatty degeneration and hepatic fibrosis. At the present, the gold standard test is liver biopsy. view more (2009-06-24)
Antibiotics: Single largest class of drugs causing liver injury
Antibiotics are the single largest class of agents that cause idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI), reports a new study in Gastroenterology, an official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2008-12-01)
An effective strategy for inhibition of cirrhosis
In China, the incidence of liver cirrhosis is still high, although new therapeutic approaches have recently been proposed, there is no established therapy for liver fibrosis, and Authors investigated the prevention effects of Chinese Medicine Qianggan-Rongxian Soup on liver fibrosis induced by DMN in rat. view more (2008-09-25)
Medication effective for acute liver failure in early stages of disease
The antidote for acute liver failure caused by acetaminophen poisoning also can treat acute liver failure due to most other causes if given before severe injury occurs, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers and their colleagues at 21 other institutions have found. view more (2009-10-08)
Are bone marrow mononuclear cells effective in reducing hepatic lesions?
Liver fibrosis occurs in the setting of chronic injury caused by different etiologies constituting a serious worldwide public health problem. In addition to schistosomiasis, hepatopathies due to alcohol, viral hepatitis, drugs, metabolic and autoimmune diseases, and congenital abnormalities are important causes of liver fibrosis. view more (2008-10-24)
Coffee and tea can reduce the risk of chronic liver disease
A study published today in the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) journal Gastroenterology found that people at high risk for liver injury may be able to reduce their risk for developing chronic liver disease significantly by drinking more than two cups of coffee or tea daily. view more (2005-12-02)
Scientific evidence of the significant anti-cancer effect of milk thistle
Recently, scientists demonstrated the anti-cancer effects of silibinin, a major biologically active compound of milk thistle. Being widely used as a folk remedy for liver diseases, milk thistle is safe and well-tolerated, and it protects the liver from drug or alcohol-related injury. view more (2007-11-15)
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)
