Research shows liver cirrhosis may soon be reversible.


This is promising for those whose livers have been damaged by alcoholism or other conditions:

The researchers at the University of California at San Diego School of Medicine have halted the formation of the scar tissue by blocking a protein called RSK, which is released naturally by the body as part of the healing process….The researchers said that other conditions involving fibrosis, such as pulmonary fibrosis and scarring around burn injuries, could also potentially benefit.

This shows that liver cirrhosis someday may be reversible. That is certainly promising.
