Long before a liver tumor appears, a high-fat diet can push liver cells into a risky survival mode. That is the central ...

Scientists identify measurable cellular changes that flag higher cancer risk more than a decade before tumors appear. In A ...

As part of their effort to answer a decades-old biological question about how the hepatitis B virus (HBV) can establish an infection in liver cells, researchers led by teams at Memorial Sloan ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), manmade chemicals that accumulate in the body over time, have been linked to liver disease and cancer, but it is not yet clear how they cause damage.

A high-fat diet does more than overload the liver with fat. New research from MIT shows that prolonged exposure to fatty ...
