Intrahepatic crystals from elevated dietary cholesterol are sufficient to stiffen the liver

David Li, Abigail E. Loneker, Yasmine Safraou…·Rebecca G. Wells

This study shows that elevated dietary cholesterol in rats leads to liver lipid crystals, which increase tissue stiffness and fibrosis progression in a model of MASLD.

Liver Viscosity Decreases Before the Onset of Fibrosis in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated 1 Steatohepatitis (MASH)

Yasmine Safraou, Kristin Susan Spirgath, Biru Huang…·Jing Guo

This study shows that liver viscosity decreases before fibrosis in a mouse model of MASH, indicating it as a potential early biomarker.

Longitudinal in vivo MR elastography reveals whole-liver viscoelastic involvement in a murine model of hepatocellular carcinoma

Pedro Augusto Dantas de Moraes, Yasmine Safraou, Karolina Krehl…·Jing Guo

This study uses in vivo MR elastography to show early whole-liver viscoelastic changes in a murine HCC model, suggesting biomechanical adaptation beyond the tumor microenvironment.
