Many scientists believe up to 40 percent of liver cancer is caused by stem cells gone wild -- master cells in the organ that have lost all growth control. But, despite years spent looking, no one has ever found these liver "cancer stem cells" -- or even normal stem cells in the organ. Until now.

Scientists from Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Harvard Medical School have reported success in using otherwise discarded amniotic fluid as a source of stem cells from which they have created muscle, bone, fat, blood vessel, nerve and liver cells in the laboratory.

The way the liver renews itself may be simpler than what scientists had been assuming. A new study, appearing in the April 13 issue of The Journal of Biological Chemistry, provides new information on the inner workings of cells from regenerating livers that could significantly affect the way physicians make livers regrow in patients with liver diseases such as cirrhosis, hepatitis, or cancer.

 | In studies in mouse models, researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have found that a cellular receptor involved in triggering cell death is also a necessary component of tissue repair and regeneration immediately following liver injury. This discovery could have implications for early intervention or therapy in liver disease such as cirrhosis or hepatitis. ...> Full Article |
For the first time, researchers have used adult bone marrow stem cells to regenerate healthy human liver tissue, according to a study published in the April issue of the journal Radiology.

Scientists have discovered that the liver produces a substance named cardiotrophin-1 when it suffers stress or damage; for instance, when the blood flow is interrupted.
