A glycine-based compound developed at the University of Michigan, originally designed to treat severe fatty liver disease, has shown powerful effects in reducing atherosclerosis and vascular calcification in animal models.
Researchers at Keio University have developed long-lasting, functional human liver organoids from frozen hepatocytes, marking a huge moment in organoid science.
Scientists have developed lab-grown liver organoids with functional zonation, a discovery that brings regenerative medicine a step closer to personalised, transplant-free liver therapy.
Scientists have identified protein tyrosine phosphatase delta (PTPRD) as a key regulator of liver metabolism, offering a potential new drug target for treating metabolic liver diseases like MASLD and MASH.
A team of researchers at Waseda University in Japan has identified a gene called Nwd1 that plays a key role in the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). This discovery could lead to new therapeutic strategies, potentially reshaping the treatment landscape for liver disease.
Scientists have examined gene activity in mice models, noting important indicators of liver disease severity which may be used as therapeutic strategies.
Ochre Bio is at the forefront of therapeutic innovation, focusing primarily on liver diseases. Their core mission revolves around the development of RNA therapies, primarily in the preclinical stage, using a 'human-first' approach. They employ real human tissue, such as 'liver slices' and whole human livers, in their preclinical pipeline…
This article outlines the development of a new type of nanoparticle that can perform gene-editing in the lungs. Scientists from MIT and the University of Massachusetts Medical School have collaborated to create this Ribonucleic acid (RNA) delivery particles, which have the potential to revolutionise the treatment of lung diseases such…
Scientists suggest the PCSK9Q152H gene variant may act as a “fountain of youth”, allowing people to live longer, healthier lives.
Researchers have developed a new CRISPR technique, using a minigene, which was inserted into mouse DNA, resulting in improved liver disease symptoms.
Researchers have discovered that patients with alcoholic hepatitis had high numbers of a destructive gut bacterium and they were able to use a cocktail of phages to target and kill the bacteria, eradicating the disease.
Stem cells transformed into 3D human liver tissue by scientists show promising support of liver function when implanted into mice with a liver disease...
Study uncovers new potential therapeutic approach for a number of diseases linked to inflammation, including atherosclerosis, aortic stenosis and hepatic steatosis...
Nuclease-free gene editing has been found to correct mutated cells ...
In a joint international study, researchers have collaborated to uncover how mutations in a single gene called PKHD1 lead to symptoms associated with a rare kidney and liver disease...
