Background Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease,
and among the non-invasive tests, controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) and liver stiffness …

Liver fibrosis should be assessed in all individuals with chronic liver disease as it predicts
the risk of future liver-related morbidity and thus need for treatment, monitoring and …

Even though alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a major cause of severe liver disease
worldwide, most patients with ALD are diagnosed at the decompensation stage. Liver biopsy …

Currently, there is no effective therapy for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and
although calorie restriction is recommended in guidelines, but adherence is an issue. The …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent growth factor playing diverse roles in
vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. In the brain, VEGF mediates angiogenesis, neural …
