Mild hepatitis C infection will rapidly worsen in one in three people affected
Mild hepatitis C infection will rapidly worsen in one in three of those affected, suggests research in Gut. This is particularly likely in those who are older when first infected, and those who already have a degree of inflammation and scar tissue (fibrosis) in their liver at diagnosis. The viral liver infection hepatitis C (HCV) is mainly passed... view more... (2004-02-11)

Parasite growth hormone pushes human cells to liver cancer
Scientists have found that the human liver fluke (Opisthorchis viverrini) contributes to the development of bile duct (liver) cancer by secreting granulin, a growth hormone that is known to cause uncontrolled growth of cells. view more (2009-10-09)
Targeting the protein AEG1 impairs human liver cancer growth in mice
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive form of liver cancer and one of the 5 most common cancers worldwide. Devanand Sarkar and colleagues, at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, Richmond, have now identified a gene that is expressed at high levels in human HCC tumor samples and generates a protein important for HCC... view more...

Farnesoid X receptor regulates cystathionase
The expression and activity of Cystathionase is reduced in rodent models of liver injury, leading to hyper-homocysteinemia and impaired generation of hydrogen sulphide, two factors that contribute to endothelial dysfunction and increased intrahepatic resistance. view more (2009-05-13)
arrow researcher finds natural hydrogel helps heal spinal cord
Research led by a scientist at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center has shown injecting biomaterial gel into a spinal cord injury site provides significantly improved healing. view more (2009-09-17)
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...
