Fatty liver is an increasingly common disease that can progress toward more severe forms, involving inflammation, fibrosis, ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one in three adults around the globe. It starts when fat builds up inside the liver’s cells. Over time, this buildup can ...

A new study published in Science Advances reveals that a single gene plays a big role in how the liver stores energy, a process that's critical for overall health and for managing diseases like type 2 ...

Targeting organ‑specific gene “switches” can reverse key markers of liver aging in mice, suggesting aging might be slowed one ...

A number of presentations held during the 54th Annual Meeting of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) addressed important advances in genetic/metabolic liver disease. A ...

A new study reveals that a single gene plays a big role in how the liver stores energy, a process that's critical for overall health and for managing diseases like type 2 diabetes. The research ...

Gene editing is already being used to treat a handful of rare genetic diseases; however, most therapies involve breaking or inactivating genes. Precisely fixing disease-causing mutations is far more ...

Cross-species research shows that RNA splicing patterns, not just gene activity, track maximum lifespan in mammals, revealing ...

Metabolic health is maintained through the complex interplay between key tissues, including adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and the liver. Adipose tissue ...
