Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease: Experimental Approaches to Decipher Pathogenesis

Objectives

  • Gain comprehensive insights into the pathogenesis of Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease through diverse experimental approaches, including investigations into endogenous retroviral elements, immune targeting, and cellular responses.
  • Analyze potential therapeutic targets for ALD treatment, exploring the feasibility of targeting molecules involved in hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, and evaluate their potential clinical implications.
  • Assess the impact of alcohol consumption on the gut-liver axis, intestinal mucosal barrier function, and hepatocellular lipid droplets, to better understand the complex interactions contributing to ALD development and progression.
