Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is a common hepatic disorder affecting approximately one quarter of the world’s population caused by an excessive accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes, and representing a rapidly growing healthcare problem. NAFLD is categorized histologically into non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In the last two decades, NAFLD has become the leading cause of liver disease on a global scale becoming the main determinant of liver-related mortality.
The increase in the incidence of NASH over the past 10–15 years, coupled with the absence of approved drugs for the treatment of NASH, has made this disease an attractive field of research in fact several candidate drugs have been advanced to Phase II and III.
