The liver is perhaps the most regenerative organ in the body, but like all other organs it is negatively affected by the accumulation of cell and tissue damage characteristic of aging. Liver function is reduced, while prevalent liver diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatoheptatitis occur more readily in older people than in younger people. With this in mind, researchers here present a tour of vulnerabilities to disease and dysfunction that are induced by mechanisms of aging in the liver.

While the liver can maintain some of its homeostatic functions throughout aging, it becomes highly susceptible to liver injury and chronic liver disease. This s…
