Accurate, non-invasive liver fibrosis detection is essential for chronic liver disease management, particularly with rising metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MASLD) and chronic hepatitis B (CHB). While the Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index is widely used, its performance for advanced fibrosi...
Hepatic fibrosis decreased feces bile acid level. Hepatic fibrosis increased serum bile acid. This result showed that hepatic fibrosis inhibited the excretion of bile acid in clinical patients. This result provided phenotype for hepatic fibrosis patients. Bile acid was important indexes for liver...

Parabacteroides distasonis (P. distasonis) plays an important role in human health, including diabetes, colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Here, we show that P. distasonis is decreased in patients with hepatic fibrosis, and that administration of P. dista...
Huaganjian (HGJ) is a traditional Chinese medicinal formula with liver-protective effects. However, the pharmacological mechanisms of the effects of HGJ on cholestatic liver fibrosis (CLF) are yet to be clarified. To evaluate the effects of HGJ on CLF and elucidate the underlying mechanisms, C57B...
Diminished hepatocyte regeneration is a key feature of acute and chronic liver diseases and after extended liver resections, resulting in the inability to maintain or restore a sufficient functional liver mass. Therapies to restore hepatocyte regeneration are lacking, making liver transplantation...
BACKGROUND: Single ventricle congenital heart disease (SVCHD) is a severe form of cardiac malformation in which there is only one functional ventricle. The Fontan operation is the current standard of care for SVCHD. Almost all patients who have undergone the Fontan operation develop liver fibrosi...
