Killing hepatocellular carcinoma in the NAFLD/NASH stage: a comprehensive perspective on targeting regulated cell death.
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) has been identified as a significant risk factor contributing to the rising incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). With the evolving epidemiological characteristics of NASH, the incidence of NASH-related HCC has increased substantially. Recent advances in the study of regulated cell death (RCD) mechanisms have uncovered their roles in the pathogenesis of NAFLD/NASH and associated HCC, offering novel insights and directions for targeted therapeutic strategies. Although numerous studies have highlighted the critical role of RCD mechanisms in NAFLD/NASH and related HCC, significant challenges remain in developing effective targeted therapies and translating them into clinical applications. This review aims to summarize the current progress in understanding the role of RCD in NAFLD/NASH and associated HCC, explore potential therapeutic strategies and clinical applications, and provide new perspectives and therapeutic targets for treating NAFLD/NASH. Ultimately, the goal is to control disease progression at the NAFLD/NASH stage and prevent its progression to HCC.
期刊介绍:
Cell Death Discovery is a multidisciplinary, international, online-only, open access journal, dedicated to publishing research at the intersection of medicine with biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, cell biology and cell death, provided it is scientifically sound. The unrestricted access to research findings in Cell Death Discovery will foster a dynamic and highly productive dialogue between basic scientists and clinicians, as well as researchers in industry with a focus on cancer, neurobiology and inflammation research. As an official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association (ADMC), Cell Death Discovery will build upon the success of Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease in publishing important peer-reviewed original research, timely reviews and editorial commentary.
Cell Death Discovery is committed to increasing the reproducibility of research. To this end, in conjunction with its sister journals Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease, Cell Death Discovery provides a unique forum for scientists as well as clinicians and members of the pharmaceutical and biotechnical industry. It is committed to the rapid publication of high quality original papers that relate to these subjects, together with topical, usually solicited, reviews, editorial correspondence and occasional commentaries on controversial and scientifically informative issues.
