FGF21-mediated autophagy: Remodeling the homeostasis in response to stress in liver diseases

Liver diseases are worldwide problems closely associated with various stresses, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress. The exact interplay between stre…

New genetic discovery reveals hidden cause of liver disease

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one in three adults around the globe. It starts when fat builds up inside the liver’s cells. Over time, this buildup can cause swelling, scarring, and even liver failure. Doctors used to believe this disease was caused by a mix of inherited traits and environmental factors. Now, a groundbreaking study suggests that, at least in some people, a single tiny genetic mist…
