MSNBCTV NEWSScientists find why the liver may not heal even after you stop drinking
Alcohol-related liver disease may trap damaged liver cells in a regenerative limbo, preventing the organ from rebuilding itself even after drinking stops. Researchers linked the problem to inflammation-driven RNA errors and identified a pathway that could potentially be targeted to restore liver repair.
Scientists have discovered why liver damage caused by alcohol consumption prevents the organ from regenerating even after quitting alcohol. According to the research, inflammation prevents liver cells from completing their regeneration process.
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, in collaboration with Duke University and Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Chicago, identified mechanisms that prevent liver regeneration in patients with related liver diseases...
