News and current affairs

Ethiopia's government had strenuously denied rumors of serious ill health caused by liver cancer.
But Hu Jia is a diminutive young man of 34 who suffers from a severe liver ailment.
The four main culprits are hepatitis B and C (hepB and hepC), human papillomavirus (HPV), and Helicobacter pylori, which are collectively responsible for 1.9 million cases of liver, cervical, and gastric cancer annually.
Then there is hepB, which is over 50 times more infectious than HIV and often passed from mother to child before or shortly after birth, increasing the likelihood of liver cancer later in life.
Of these, roughly one-quarter will die from hepB-related liver cancer or cirrhosis (a consequence of chronic liver disease).
Rivero, who has lost much weight, has circulatory problems, and Espinosa suffers from a worsening liver disease.
Mitochondrial mutations can have serious consequences, including epilepsy, liver failure, diabetes, and cardiomyopathy.
As a fertilized egg turns into an embryo, and then a fetus, those initial stem cells somehow show their daughter cells how to become skin, liver, eye, or bone.
Liver cancer, which is associated with hepatitis, and cervical cancer, associated with human papilloma virus infection, are prominent examples.
A vaccine against hepatitis B virus is proving to be effective in reducing the incidence of liver cancer.

All three help to maintain, and in some cases even improve, metabolic health, because the liver has to deal with only one energy source at a time.
Our hunter ancestors ate fat, which was transported to the liver and broken down by the lipolytic pathway to deliver fatty acids to the mitochondria (the subcellular structures that burn food to create energy).
On the occasion of a big kill, any excess dietary fatty acids were packaged into low-density lipoproteins and transported out of the liver to be stored in peripheral fat tissue.
Meanwhile, our gatherer ancestors ate carbohydrates (polymers of glucose), which was also transported to the liver, via the glycolytic pathway, and broken down for energy.
Any excess glucose stimulated the pancreas to release insulin, which transported glucose into peripheral fat tissue, and which also caused the liver to store glucose as glycogen (liver starch).
Liver fat mucks up the workings of the liver.
Genotyping can also predict severe liver toxicity for drugs such as flucloxacillin or lumiricoxib.
Though all cells in the body have the same DNA, only a subset of the genes encoded by the DNA is expressed in each cell type, thus accounting for the difference between, say, a skin cell, a liver cell, and a brain cell.
