Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: From Basic Science to Therapy

Dear Colleagues,

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become an important healthcare issue. To reduce the potential associated complications, including liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, a rapid response to this issue is of utmost importance. In order to achieve such a goal, significant research efforts in the field of liver studies are necessary. With this in mind, we hereby invite you to contribute novel papers on the different mechanisms involved in the development of liver steatosis and its progression toward inflammation and carcinogenesis. A great addition to this Special Issue would be manuscripts on therapeutic approaches toward MASLD, both in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we also encourage the submission of papers in clinical settings showing the potential benefits of currently approved drugs that might find usage in MASLD treatment.
