A data-driven approach to decode metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
Ann Hepatol. 2023 Dec 20:101278. doi: 10.1016/j.aohep.2023.101278. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), defined by the presence of liver steatosis together with at least one out of five cardiometabolic factors, is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide, affecting around one in three people. Yet the clinical presentation of MASLD and the risk of progression to cirrhosis and adverse clinical outcomes is highly variable. It therefore represents both a global public health threat and a precision medicine challenge. The use of artificial intelligence (...

From NAFLD to MASLD: When metabolic comorbidity matters
CONCLUSIONS: The new nomenclature of MASLD and SLD is more applicable to identifying significant fibrosis than NAFLD. Patients with three or more cardiometabolic risk factors are at higher risk of fibrosis.PMID:38135250 | DOI:10.1016/j.aohep.2023.101281 (Source: Annals of Hepatology)

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 inducing COL1A1 synthesis via integrin alpha Ⅴ promotes invasion and metastasis of cholangiocarcinoma cells
CONCLUSIONS: COL1A1 plays an important role in regulating CCA progression and may act as a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for CCA.PMID:38123132 | DOI:10.1016/j.aohep.2023.101279 (Source: Annals of Hepatology)

MiR-326 sponges TET2 triggering imbalance of Th17/Treg differentiation to exacerbate pyroptosis of hepatocytes in concanavalin A-induced autoimmune hepatitis
CONCLUSIONS: Knockdown of miR-326 exerted anti-pyroptosis effects via suppressing TET2 and downstream NF-κB signaling to dampen AIH. We highlighted a therapeutic target in AIH.PMID:38043702 | DOI:10.1016/j.aohep.2023.101183 (Source: Annals of Hepatology)
