Dr. Vadim Jucaud's lab at the Terasaki Institute has developed a human vascularized liver cancer-on-a-chip model to evaluate vessel remodeling and cell death in response to embolic agents. This novel ...

More than 100 million people in the United States suffer from metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), characterized by a buildup of fat in the liver. This condition can lead ...

There are more candidates on the waitlist for a liver transplant than there are available organs, yet about half the time a ...

A new 2026 study reveals how chronic stress depletes NAD⁺, impairing immunity and accelerating liver cancer—while linking the ...
