Study Reveals Hidden Complexities in Liver Cancer Tumors
A recent study funded by the National Research Foundation Singapore revealed unexpected molecular heterogeneity within liver tumors, with more than 40% of hepatocellular carcinomas containing multiple molecular subtypes. Published in the Journal of Hepatology, the findings emphasize the importance of comprehensive sampling in studying and treating liver cancer to optimize patient outcomes. The ‘bad apple effect’ underscores the need for personalized treatment strategies to address the complexities of liver cancer and improve clinical outcomes.
Study Shows 5:2 Fasting Diet May Have Anti-Inflammatory Effects on Liver Health
Discover the potential anti-inflammatory effects of a 5:2 fasting diet on liver health. A recent study by experts from the German Cancer Research Center and the University of Tübingen found that intermittent fasting can reduce signs of liver disease and lower levels of liver damage biomarkers. Learn how a 5:2 fasting regimen can make mice more resistant to developing non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and the specific proteins responsible for these protective effects.
