BACKGROUND Liver fibrosis and cirrhosis are global medical challenges that require safe and effective treatments.In the past two decades,there has been a surge in research on stem cell therapy for liver fibrosis and c...
Chronic liver disease(CLD)is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States(1,2).The early detection of liver fibrosis is crucial in minimizing disease progression and risk of death(2).While the gold standard fo...
Complications of the liver are amongst the world’s worst diseases.Liver fibrosis is the first stage of liver problems,while cirrhosis is the last stage,which can lead to death.The creation of effective anti-fibrotic ...
BACKGROUND Cirrhosis and its complications develop in a subgroup of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NASH).Early detection of liver fibrosis represents an important goal of clinical care.AIM To test the ...

Background and Aims:Vibration-controlled transient elastography(VCTE)is a noninvasive tool that uses liver stiffness measurement(LSM)to assess fibrosis.Since real-life data during everyday clinical practice in the USA...
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) is a spectrum of disease ranging from simple steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH), through to advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis. Many patients with NAFLD r...
