Liver diseases
A significant portion of premature liver mortality in the US is attributed to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), with a substantial portion of these deaths estimated to be preventable. According to a recent study, the highest burdens of preventable MASLD-related premature liver mortality (MASLD-PLM) are found in rural, socioeconomically

Epidemiology
According to a recent study published in Environment International, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) has been found to be associated with steatotic liver disease in a sex-dependent manner. Researchers from the University of Lille, French National Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), and University Hospital Lille conducted a study involving a

Researchers at the Beijing Institute of Technology have made significant progress in laparoscopic liver surgery, developing a novel haemostasis method to control bleeding during liver resection surgeries. The team, led by Prof. Benzhu Guo, has designed an artificial liver blood vessel made of silicone rubber, wrapped by artificial connective tissues
Drinking (Alcoholic beverages)
Recent research conducted at the Odense University Hospital in Denmark has shed light on the clinical utility of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) as a biomarker for liver disease. The study highlights the potential of PEth to subclassify patients with steatotic liver disease, a condition characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver.

Research published in Current Opinion in Endocrinology, Diabetes & Obesity has highlighted the growing need for earlier diagnosis and effective treatment strategies for metabolically associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The study authors emphasize the importance of noninvasive diagnostic methods, including serum biomarkers and imaging techniques, to detect MASLD in its
Liver diseases
Recent research has shed light on the impact of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) on patient-reported outcomes, specifically work productivity. A study published in the journal JHEP Reports found that work productivity is impaired in people with MASH, with a significant difference in activity impairment scores between high-risk and low-risk patients.
Beverages
A new study reveals that both sugar-sweetened beverages and low- or non-sugar-sweetened beverages are significantly associated with a higher risk of developing metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and liver-related mortality. The research, presented at UEG Week 2025, followed 123,788 UK Biobank participants and found that a higher intake
Fibrosis
A recent study published in PLOS One emphasizes the importance of systematic screening for liver fibrosis using the FIB-4 score in primary care for patients with chronic liver disease risk factors. The research, conducted across 110 French centers, included 34,510 participants, predominantly women, with a median age of 54

Research published in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety has shed light on the devastating impact of TBBPA and its alternatives on cellular energy metabolism. Tetrabromobisphenol A, a widely used flame retardant, has been found to significantly disrupt the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in human hepatoma cells, leading to the activation of
