New research finds that removing senescent macrophages from the liver, which accumulate with age and LDL cholesterol exposure, reduces liver inflammation, liver size, and body weight in mice. Similarities between senescent macrophages in mice and humans suggest this finding has therapeutic value.

Scientists remove “zombie” cells and reverse liver damage in mice
A rogue set of “zombie” immune cells may be driving aging and fatty liver disease by flooding tissues with inflammation. Researchers found these cells accumulate with age and high cholesterol—and can make up most of the liver’s immune cells in older mice. When scientists removed them, liver damage was dramatically reversed, even without diet changes.

New Study Identifies 3 Deadliest Risk Factors of the World’s Most Common Liver Disease
Patients with chronic liver disease (MASLD) who also have high blood pressure, prediabetes or diabetes, or low HDL cholesterol face the greatest risk. More than one in three people worldwide live with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), making it the most common chronic liver condition across the globe. This disease develops when excess fat [...]

A review and meta-analysis of 202 medical data sets found that 16 peripheral diseases, of 26 evaluated, were associated with a higher risk of developing dementia. The five peripheral diseases with the highest association with dementia risk were gum disease, chronic liver disease, hearing loss, vision loss, and Type 2 diabetes.

One-third of dementia cases are linked to non brain-related diseases, study finds
Dementia is a term used to describe memory loss, impaired reasoning, difficulties communicating and other mental impairments that can be caused by Alzheimer's disease, other neurodegenerative disease, strokes, severe infections, head injuries or various other conditions. While most past studies investigating the causes and underpinnings of dementia focused on the brain, a growing body of research suggests that these mental impairments could sometimes be linked to diseases that affect other parts of the body, referred to as peripheral diseases.
A new study of the long-term effects of a ketogenic diet on mice found that it induces fatty liver disease and liver dysfunction in male mice, and also reduces insulin production, with the result that blood sugar rises, uncontrolled, when carbohydrates are consumed.

Keto diet weight loss may come with a hidden cost
A long-term study found that while a ketogenic diet prevented weight gain, it also triggered major metabolic problems. Mice developed fatty liver disease, abnormal blood fats, and an impaired ability to control blood sugar—especially after reintroducing carbohydrates. Male mice were hit hardest, showing severe liver damage. The results suggest keto’s benefits may come with hidden risks over time.

Oral bacteria play a role in chronic liver disease
Researchers have discovered that in chronic liver disease, bacteria from the mouth colonize the gut. This can worsen the condition.
