Abstract

BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is becoming increasingly prevalent. Regulated cell death (RCD) has emerged as a significant disease phenotype and may act as a marker for liver fibrosis. The present study aimed to investigate the regulation of RCD-related genes in MASH to elucidate the role of RCD in the progression of MASH.
