Abstract
Due to the high prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, a significant proportion of patients suffer from both conditions simultaneously. The management of NAFLD in patients with concurrent HBV infection presents unique challenges, primarily due to the complex interplay between these two diseases. Nanomaterials have gained widespread attention due to their ability to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. This review provides an overview of the current advances in therapeutic nanomaterials for NAFLD and explores their potential applications for personalized and effective management in patients with concurrent HBV infection. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and future directions in the development of nanomaterials for the treatment of coexisting liver diseases.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Nanomedicine is a globally recognized journal that focuses on the applications of nanotechnology in the biomedical field. It is a peer-reviewed and open-access publication that covers diverse aspects of this rapidly evolving research area.
With its strong emphasis on the clinical potential of nanoparticles in disease diagnostics, prevention, and treatment, the journal aims to showcase cutting-edge research and development in the field.
Starting from now, the International Journal of Nanomedicine will not accept meta-analyses for publication.
