As chronic liver disease becomes more widespread, researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a lab-grown organoid that replicates a regenerating liver, offering new hope for future treatments. The ...

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct ...

Human periportal assembloid, showcasing the three key cell types of the liver: portal fibroblasts (magenta), cholangiocytes (green), and hepatocyte nuclei (blue). All cell borders are delineated in ...

Using human induced pluripotent stem cells, researchers have built a miniature 3D liver model that replicates the critical interaction between hepatocytes and stellate cells. As chronic liver disease ...
