NCT ID NCT07265544
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to understand how liver diseases like fatty liver, hepatitis B, fibrosis, and cirrhosis develop by analyzing individual liver cells and their spatial organization. Researchers will collect blood and discarded liver tissue from 240 patients undergoing surgery or biopsy. The goal is to identify new targets for future treatments.
