Mouse model closely reproduces human fatty liver disease
A team at Baylor College of Medicine and other institutions has developed a novel mouse model that reproduces many key features of human non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a little-understood condition that significantly increases the risk of inflammation, fibrosis and liver cancer and ultimately requires liver transplant. With this model, researchers have an opportunity to advance the understanding and treatment of this serious condition for which there is no effective therapy. The study appeared in JHEP Reports.
“NAFLD has been difficult to study since we had no good animal model,” said corresponding author Dr. Karl-Dimiter Bissig, who was at Baylor during the development of this project and is now at Duke University.
