NAFLD encompasses a disease continuum from steatosis with or without mild inflammation (non-alcoholic fatty liver), to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which is characterised by necroinflammation ...

Hirudin ameliorates renal interstitial fibrosis via regulating TGF-β1/Smad and NF-κB signaling in UUO rat model ... Puerarin ameliorates the ferroptosis in diabetic liver injure through the JAK2/STAT3 ...

The study’s results demonstrated that FGF21 was effective at causing signaling in the model species that changed the liver’s metabolism. In doing so, the liver’s fat was lowered and the fibrosis was ...

The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon. Background: Liver fibrosis is a chronic condition marked by scar tissue accumulation in the liver that impairs function. Shikimic ...

Mechanisms of fibrosis have focused on hepatic stellate cells, which become fibrogenic myofibroblasts during injury through ‘activation’, and are at the nexus of efforts to define novel drug targets.

Activation of the sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs), a step regulated by a cluster of ER-resident proteins, Insig-1, Insig-2 and SCAP, is rate limiting in hepatic de novo lipogenesis ...

Roche is rolling out a new diagnostic test to help assess hidden liver fibrosis in patients showing signs of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, or MASLD. The company said ...

Elecsys PRO-C3, used with the ADAPT formula (age, diabetes status, PRO-C3, platelets), assesses liver ... fibrosis (≥F2), advanced fibrosis (≥F3), and cirrhosis (F4). This is crucial for determining ...
