Molecular mechanisms and pathogenesis of MASH - Nature

Survey of current molecular and cellular mechanisms driving metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and its progression to hepatocellular carcinoma.

Key Takeaways
  • G polymorphism confers an increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease associated hepatocellular carcinoma
  • MASLD is now the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide and a rising indication for liver transplantation
  • MASH is a significant risk factor for fibrosis
