Liver Disease
Liver disease imposes a significant healthcare burden, causing approximately 2 million deaths globally each year, accounting for 4% of all deaths. Regardless of its cause, repetitive liver damage leads to progressive fibrosis, disrupting hepatic architecture, regeneration potential, and overall liver function. Current treatment options for chronic liver disease are limited to addressing the underlying cause or resorting to liver transplantation. Despite numerous anti-fibrotic drug candidates reaching clinical trials, an approved antifibrotic therapy remains elusive.
