The prognosis of liver disease depends on the extent of fibrosis, which is usually staged with the use of liver biopsy. The limitations of biopsy have led to the development of noninvasive tests, which the authors review. Learn more: nej.md/4hwZMgj

This is huge news!
UBC has developed an enzyme that can convert donor organs to type O, making them universal.
Normally a using organs of the wrong blood type causes the recipient's immune system to attack the organ, leading to failure.
