Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its progressive form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), are major chronic liver diseases associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. This study aimed to establish a short-term modified Western diet (mWD)-induced NAFLD model in middle-aged mice and ...

A major hurdle in NASH drug development is the poor translatability of preclinical studies to safe/effective clinical outcomes, and recent failures highlight a need to identify new targetable pathways. Dysr...
Transmembrane-6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) regulates hepatic fat metabolism and is closely associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). MASH involves genetic predisposition and gut microbiota alteration, yet the role of host-microbes interaction in disease developme...
