Core Tip

Core Tip: Aging is closely associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We will focus on the main features of age-related MASLD, the mechanisms by which age-related factors, such as oxidative stress, autophagy, mitochondrial homeostasis, bile acid metabolism and bacterial dysbiosis induce MASLD, as well as the study of related therapeutic targets.
