FLASH - Liver Research

Elite liver research center at @OUHhospital. We conduct clinical studies on steatotic liver disease, alcohol, metabolism, microbiome, and liver health.

Professor Aleksander Krag receives this year's Hagedorn Prize for his major contributions to the early detection and treatment of chronic liver disease. Because of his work, clinicians are better able to identify patients at greatest risk of serious complications and to tailor treatment, improving quality of life for people living with advanced liver disease.

Is liver steatosis a disease or the emperor’s new clothes?

I don’t think it’s meaningful to say 30% of the global population has a liver disease- do you?

Is steatosis then a risk factor or a pre-disease? Read the arguments in @JHepatology

Phosphatidylethanol (PEth), a direct marker of alcohol consumption (3-4 weeks), are transforming objective measures of alcohol consumption. Check out latest data on its prognostic performance @AGA_Gastro https://t.co/iMdJFO3gRF

To Screen—or not to screen for
for advanced steatotic liver disease?

Our new @LancetGastroHep review re-examines Wilson & Jungner (1968), weighs today’s evidence, and proposes 2025 screening criteria

Four successful days at #EASLCongress 2025 in Amsterdam! 💡🌷

Over 7,000 liver professionals joined — and FLASH contributed with 1 oral presentation, 3 poster tours, and 7 posters! 📢🎉

We’re returning home full of insights and inspiration.

🧪 New findings published in @JHEP_Reports benchmarking several biomarkers and combinations hereof show soluble TREM2, PRO-C3 & HOMA-IR effectively reflect changes in histological disease activity in MASLD/MASH patients in response to treatment.

We’re incredibly proud to co-author this new @Nature paper on alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency

🔬DVP on liver biopsies to
🎯uncover the response to toxic protein buildup
🎯identify compensatory mechanisms

[Matthias Mann Lab @labs_mann]

Our paper is out in @Nature today! We use Deep Visual Proteomics (DVP) to dissect α1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) in human liver at single-cell resolution.
Let us take a tour through proteotoxic stress in intact human tissue — one hepatocyte at a time.

[Aleksander Krag @AleksanderKrag]

Why do some patients remain healthy while others develop severe liver complications despite having the exact same genetic mutation in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency?

Proud 😊- Deep Visual Proteomics at single cell level

Huge congratulations to our amazing colleague, @Johanne_Kragh, on earning her ph.d!🥳

Her research will greatly enhance our understanding of how molecules and bacteria change in steatotic liver disease.

We're so proud of you, Johanne!👏

Exciting news about our liverscreening project!📢

DECIDE have completed the final screening of their last patient.

In total since 2018= 6,500 participants in the first round of screenings and 1,450 screenings in the second round.

Now it’s time to work through the data!📊

[FLASH - Liver Research @FLASH_OUH]

Today, we were honored to host Jane Kraglund (regional director), Bo Libergren (chairman, regional council) and the OUH direction to talk about patient-centered research at a high international level

🎯We do it FOR and WITH our patients
