Researchers have identified a rare T cell–dendritic cell interaction that drives liver inflammation and fibrosis, confirmed in both mice and human tissue. In parallel, a new AI-powered blood test can ...

When the liver is injured - for example, due to bile accumulation - immune cells become activated. In mouse experiments, the ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center report that an artificial intelligence (AI)-based liquid biopsy test using genome-wide cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragmentation patterns and repeat ...

Jay N. Yepuri, MD, MS, FACG, is a board-certified gastroenterologist and member of the Digestive Health Associates of Texas Board of Directors and Executive Committee. Liver fibrosis is scarring that ...

For many years, it was believed that when an individual develops liver scarring, it can not be reversed. Today, we know that ...

Researchers created an AI-driven liquid biopsy that scans patterns in fragments of DNA circulating in the blood. The system detected early liver fibrosis and cirrhosis—conditions that often go ...

Previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease is common in older adults. As people age, they often experience increased ...

A significant number of people had asymptomatic liver disease, according to a large-scale European study. The LIVERSCREEN study is assessing a feasible, non-invasive screening strategy for liver ...

Fibrosis and cirrhosis both happen because of liver damage due to factors such as excessive alcohol use, viral hepatitis, and obesity. Fibrosis is scarring of the liver. Scarring that is severe and ...
