11. Understanding the genetic architecture of fatty liver disease
Abstract : Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is currently the most common chronic liver disease, ranging from simple steatosis to more severe conditions, namely non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). NAFLD has a strong genetic component, and its heritability depends on environmental factors and ethnicity. READ MORE

12. Role of Fatty Acid Composition in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: a Dietary Perspective : Results from Interventional and Observational Studies
Abstract : The overall aim of this doctoral thesis was to investigate the role of circulating, liver and dietary fatty acids in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). For circulating and liver fatty acids, special emphasis was given to fatty acids reflecting diet. READ MORE

13. Translational genetics identifies a novel target to treat fatty liver disease
Abstract : Fatty liver disease (FLD) is rapidly prevailing as the most common liver disease worldwide, with an estimated of one-quarter of the global population affected. Environmental and genetic determinants contribute to FLD susceptibility. READ MORE

14. MST3 and MST4: Critical Regulators of Liver Lipid Partitioning and Hepatocarcinogenesis
Abstract : Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a disease spectrum ranging from hepatic steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis, and finally cirrhosis. With no approved pharmacological treatment, NAFLD is currently the most common etiology of chronic liver disease in Western countries and its prevalence continues to grow. READ MORE

15. Cytokines, alcohol metabolizing enzymes and stress-inducible ER proteins in alcoholic liver disease
Abstract : The release of inflammatory cytokines by Kupffer cells is believed to be a key step in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Kupffer cells are activated not only by endotoxins [lipopolysaccharides (LPS)] but also by the lipid peroxidation products generated mainly via ethanol-inducible cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) redox cycling.
