An unhealthy lifestyle can have disastrous consequences for the liver.
Fatty liver disease can develop, a chronic liver condition that can lead to liver failure or even liver cancer. Fatty liver also contributes to the development and worsening of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Our liver is a special organ: if you cut away part of it, in most cases a new piece of liver will grow back. If someone has cancer in the liver, the affected part of the liver can be surgically removed. But you can only do this if at least 30% of the liver remains. For many patients whose remaining liver is too small, this means that they cannot undergo surgery. But thanks to international research from Maastricht UMC+, the treatment options for cancer in the liver have now been significantly expanded.
At what time of day is the best time to exercise? Scientists Patrick Schrauwen and Mathijs Hesselink are trying to find out through research.
For the first time, there is scientific evidence that a personalised diet based on a person's metabolic profile leads to better health. This is an important step towards more effective nutritional interventions aimed at improving health and preventing chronic diseases.
In women trying to conceive, 1-3% experience repeated miscarriages. For more than 50% of these women, a cause for the miscarriages has yet to be found. New research from Maastricht University (UM) and the Maastricht University Medical Centre+ (MUMC+) shows that the immune system’s Natural Killer (NK) cells may be involved. In women with repeated miscarriages, the NK cells have different characteristics.
Een orgaan dat na de puberteit bijna volledig verdwijnt, maar in zeldzame gevallen weer in grootte kan toenemen en zelfs een tumor kan herbergen: de thymus, ook bekend als de zwezerik. Arts-onderzoeker Florit Marcuse, verbonden aan de Faculty of Health Medicine and Life Sciences van de Universiteit Maastricht, onderzocht dit relatieve onbekende orgaan.
