2. Performance of Ultrasound-Guided Attenuation Parameter and 2D Shear Wave Elastography in MASLD

   Journal: European Radiology (Oct 7, 2024)

   This paper examined the efficacy of ultrasound-guided attenuation parameters (UGAP) and 2D shear wave elastography in diagnosing MASLD and its related fibrosis. The study found that these imaging techniques showed promising accuracy for assessing steatosis and fibrosis severity in MASLD patients. SpringerLink

   
   

3. miR‐21p‐5p Coordinates Biological Pathways to Promote MASLD Progression

   Journal: Hepatology (Nov, 2023)

   This study explores the role of miR-21-5p in regulating biological pathways involved in the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The findings suggest that miR-21-5p plays a crucial role in MASLD pathogenesis and could serve as a therapeutic target. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37846804/
