Liver Cells Stuck in Repair Limbo | Science News
New research reveals why the liver can’t heal after heavy drinking—even after quitting: alcohol-triggered inflammation jams RNA splicing, trapping liver cells in a dysfunctional state. Scientists pinpoint a protein, ESRP2, as critical for proper genetic editing; when suppressed by inflammation, it causes faulty proteins and stalls recovery. This breakthrough could lead to new diagnostics using mis-spliced RNA and therapies that restore the liver’s natural healing power, moving beyond transplants.
