Why Are Scientists Planning To Grow Livers In Space?
Growing tissues in labs on Earth can be a challenging task as gravity pulls cells into contact with the bottom of a plate or dish.

AI Unlocks “DNA Grammar” for Targeted Gene Editing, Enhancing Gene Therapy, and More
Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory, Broad Institute, and Yale University use AI to identify DNA sequences that control gene activation in specific cells. This AI model decodes patterns in DNA regions called cis-regulatory elements (CREs), guiding synthetic DNA switches for cell-specific gene activity. Early testing in animal models showed succes...

Cells From Man's Pancreas Implanted In His Liver
In a path-breaking medical case, insulin-making beta cells were successfully removed from the pancreas of a 19-year-old motorbike accident victim and transplanted to his liver by doctors in Italy, saving the man from the risk of becoming diabetic.

Here's How Smoothing Wrinkles Can Reverse Ageing
Scientists have found that removing wrinkles inside our cells could be the key to curing or preventing unwanted effects of ageing such as diabetes, fatty liver disease and other metabolic diseases -- and possibly even turning back the clock on ageing itself.

This Natural Antioxidant Can Cut Heart Disease Risk
A yellow-orange pigment, formed after breakdown of red blood cells and removed from our body by the liver can lower heart disease risk, says a new study.

Longevity Protein Could Help Treat Diabetes, Cancer
Named after the Greek goddess who spun the thread oflife, Klotho proteins are located on the surface of cells ofspecific tissues.The proteins bind to a family of hormones that regulatecritical metabolic processes in the liver, kidneys, and brain.

The Health Risk of Working Night Shifts: It May Affect Your Liver!
A new study, published in the Journal Cell, warns that reversing your sleep cycle or following an odd sleep routine may be bad for you liver as it adapts to the cycles of feeding and fasting, and the alternating day and night within 24 hours.

This Is Why You've Been Craving Sweets!
Do you crave for sweets? A new study, published in the journal Cell Metabolism seems to have found the real reason we crave sweets and it's not as simple as the love of sweets.

The Real Reason Why You Crave Sweets
A new study, published in the journalCell Metabolism seems to have found the real reason and it's not just the love of sweets. There's is a strange science behind.

Scientists Create Part-Human, Part-Pig Embryo
The experiment, described Thursday in the journal Cell, involves injecting human stem cells into the embryo of a pig, then implanting the embryo in the uterus of a sow and allowing it to grow. After four weeks, the stem cells had developed into the precursors of various tissue types, including heart, liver and neurons, and a small fraction of the d...

3D-Printed Liver Tissue Developed, Claims Indian Firm
The tissues, made of human cells, would allow for inexpensive medical research, and could eventually be used for liver transplants.

New Test to Quickly Spot Pancreatic Cancer: Study
By collecting samples from the portal vein -- which carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract, including from the pancreas, to the liver -- physicians can learn far more about a patients pancreatic cancer than by relying on peripheral blood from a more easily accessed vein in the arm, says a study.

Lab-Grown Functional Human Liver Cells to Aid Treatment
Researchers have developed a new approach to rapidly expand the number of human liver cells in the laboratory without losing their unique metabolic function.

Effective Therapies for Liver Damage Come Closer: Study
In a major advancement towards therapies for patients with liver damage, scientists have developed a new technique for growing liver cells from stem cells that is cost-effective and could be adapted for mass production of clinical grade cells.

3D Liver Cell Replicas to Fast-Track Personalised Medicine: Study
The chip-based model produces a faithful mimic of the in vivo liver inside a scalable fluid-handling device, the study said.
