Liver disease

A new study reveals that the genetic defect behind spinal muscular atrophy may also cause long-term liver issues for both patients and carriers.

Using single-cell sequencing technology, A*STAR scientists have identified a rare population of liver cells susceptible to damage from SARS-CoV-2 infections.

For the first time, researchers have generated lab-grown livers that have functioning bile canaliculi, an important step towards modeling complex liver diseases.
