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...

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...

To determine gene signatures associated with advanced liver fibrosis, we undertook RNA-sequencing of liver biopsies from patients presenting with different aetiologies (HCV or FLD) and fibrosis stages (n=69 patients). This dataset is part of the TransQST collection.

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...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver is the most common liver disease worldwide. Here, we show that the mitochondrial protein mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) protects against liver disease. Reduced Mfn2 expression was detected in liver biopsies from patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Moreover, reduced Mfn2...

Here, we investigate the role of enhancers in myofibroblasts, a cell type that dominates the pathogenesis and progression of tissue fibrosis. We reveal that bromodomain and extra-terminal family members (BETs), an important group of epigenetic readers, are critical for super-enhancer-mediated pro-fi...

Monocyte-derived liver macrophages are critical in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and liver fibrosis, but their recruitment mechanisms remain unclear. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5HT) is a conserved monoamine synthesized by tryptophan hydroxylase (Tph...

Extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and resultant scar play a major role in the pathogenesis and progression of liver fibrosis. Identifying core regulators of ECM deposition may lead to urgently needed diagnostic and therapetic strategies for the disease. The transcription factor Sex determining r...

Liver cirrhosis is one of the leading causes of decreased life expectancy worldwide. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of liver cirrhosis remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis using transcriptome and metabolome sequencing to explore the genes...
