CAR T cells target senescent cells, improve healthspan in mice

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have transformed the treatment of blood cancers in recent years. And there have been positive signs the “living drugs” can be harnessed against other diseases, like autoimmune disorders. Now laboratory research led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory suggests these engineered immune cells hold promise for treating some diseases […]

How meal timing tunes your liver’s circadian rhythm

The circadian clock is fundamental to healthy metabolism and is determined by a central pacemaker in the brain. Peripheral clocks are found in almost all organs and are set to the central clock by various signals. A new study published in Nature Communications reports on one pathway that synchronizes the liver clock to the central […]

Elevated pressure in the bile canaliculi alters structure of the liver tissue

The liver produces bile, which the intestine uses for digestion. For the transport of bile, the liver relies on a network of microscopic tubings, known as bile canaliculi, formed by liver cells called hepatocytes. When the outflow of bile to the intestine is blocked, it collects in the liver and can lead to serious liver […]

Scientists discover new role for liver tPA in regulating cholesterol levels

Despite advances in treatment for high cholesterol, heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. Scientists at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) are investigating the role of a form of cholesterol called very-low-density lipoprotein – and their findings may lead to new treatment options in the future. The research team is […]

New calculator predicts risk of early recurrence in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer of the liver and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with China accounting for over half of the global annual cases and deaths. Hepatectomy is the standard curative-intent treatment option for appropriately selected patients with localized HCC. However, the high postoperative recurrence rate causes […]
