MiR-93 promotes fatty liver disease, but vitamin B3 can counteract its effects. This discovery suggests a new treatment approach. Roughly 30% of people worldwide are affected by metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD), a condition that until recently lacked targeted therapies. In an important breakthrough, scientists have identified a genetic factor that worsens the disease, and […]

Summary

A recent study reveals that microRNA-93 (miR-93) exacerbates metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD), which affects about 30% of the global population. This discovery is significant as MASLD previously lacked specific treatments. The research highlights that increased miR-93 levels worsen the disease, but importantly, vitamin B3 can counteract miR-93’s negative effects. This finding points towards a potential novel therapeutic strategy for MASLD, offering hope for developing targeted treatments to combat the disease.
