Validation of a new drug target in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
This project aims to explore oxidative stress's role in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and develop new treatments by targeting MAP kinases p38 and JNK.
Projectdetails
Introduction
This research focuses on the increasing prevalence of metabolic liver disease, specifically non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which is driven by obesity, diabetes, and its related causal connections.
Medical Challenge
NASH is a significant medical challenge with no approved treatments, causing a substantial economic burden.
Research Objectives
The project aims to investigate the role of oxidative stress in NASH development and progression.
Targeted Mechanisms
By targeting the MAP kinases p38 and JNK, which drive the inflammatory and fibrotic aspects of NASH, our research could lead to new treatment approaches.
