by King’s College London Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Researchers have created a liquid biopsy test, which uses two circulating proteins, to test for major liver diseases. The test was found to be highly accurate, sensitive, and specific for both NASH and liver fibrosis. For the first time, a non-invasive test will allow for the determination...

New method for early diagnosis of liver diseases by proteomics
by Max Planck Society By using mass spectrometry-based proteomics, researchers were able to measure the intensity of important proteins (biomarkers, peaks in the graph) and therefore diagnose alcohol-related liver disease at an early stage.

A glimmer of hope: New weapon in the fight against liver diseases
by Niigata University Increased levels of annexin A1, lactotransferrin, and aminopeptidase N. Increase the counts of anti-inflammatory macrophages with high motility and phagocytic ability, which increase repair of damaged tissue. Induces regulatory T cells and fibrolysis. b) The γ-sEVs also have the ability to reduce inflammation as well as downregulate fibrogenesis. Credit: Niigata University Researchers from...
