Abstract

BACKGROUND: Metabolic Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD), encompassing conditions simple liver steatosis (MAFL) and metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH), is the most prevalent chronic liver disease. Currently, the management of MASLD is impeded by the lack of reliable diagnostic biomarkers and effective therapeutic strategies.
