NAS/ Nonalcoholic‬ ‪‎fatty‬ liver disease progression

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common cause of liver damage. In this study, TGen scientists sequenced microRNAs from liver biopsies, spelling out their biochemical molecules to identify several potential gene targets associated with NAFLD-related liver damage.

The miRNAs – RNA molecules that regulate gene expression – were obtained from liver biopsies of 30 female candidates for gastric bypass surgery: 15 with, and 15 without, NAFLD liver damage. Using the most advanced technology to refine the data, researchers identified several potential gene targets associated with NAFLD-related liver damage...
