Hepatic #lipid #metabolism is regulated by the #AutonomicNervousSystem. This study shows that some #hepatocytes & cholangiocytes are innervated by branches of the vagus nerve; ablating them in mice on a high-fat diet prevents #HepaticSteatosis #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4hdJiJp

My Dresden colleagues have recently published a paper.
Carlotta Mayer (@c_ma_yer on the cross site) shows that #hepatocytes react to increased #bile #pressure by forming the #apical projections called bulkheads. This is also observed in #human #liver when bile pressure is increased to a pathological level. Upon further increase of bile pressure, bulkheads no longer hold the #canaliculi shape and form #rosettes.
