This study identifies HSD17B13 as a dual metabolic and profibrotic effector that drives TGFb-1-dependent activation of hepatic stellate cells, linking lipid metabolism to fibrogenesis in MASH.

This study shows that adipocyte Nrip1 deficiency in obese mice reduces hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance by promoting M2-like macrophages that secrete IL-1rn.

This study shows that MCT1 in hepatic stellate cells promotes collagen expression in NASH, while hepatocyte MCT1 does not significantly affect fibrosis.

The paper shows that ACLY depletion in obese mice paradoxically increases de novo lipogenesis despite reducing AcCoA levels, linked to increased SREBP1c expression.
