Commentary
NAFLD is a growing cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. Several preclinical models (dietary and genetic animal models) of NAFLD have deepened our understanding of its aetiology and pathophysiology. Despite the progress made, there are currently no effective treatments for NAFLD.
In this review, L. Parlati et al. (Université de Paris, Institut Cochin, France) provide an update on the known molecular pathways involved in the pathophysiology of NAFLD and on ongoing studies of new therapeutic targets.
