TL;DR

The gut microbiota–liver axis plays a central role in the pathogenesis of MASLD and emerging modalities within microbiome-based therapies, including mesenchymal stromal cell therapy and bacteriophage therapy, offer potential for targeted modulation of the gut microbiota and liver repair.

Deciphering the gut-liver axis in MASLD: from dysbiosis-driven pathogenesis to precision microbiome therapeutics

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as the most prevalent chronic liver disorder worldwide, characterized by a multifactorial pathogenesis involving genetic predisposition, metabolic disturbances, environmental influences, and gut microbiota interactions. In recent years, the gu...

Targeting gut dysbiosis: a new frontier in MASLD management

This narrative review explores the mechanistic pathways through which an altered gut microbiome contributes to MASLD, by specifically emphasizing intestinal barrier disruption, endotoxemia, altered bile acid metabolism, and SCFA imbalance.

Ferroptosis may link gut microbiota dysbiosis to the progression of metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly termed non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), affects a substantial proportion of the global adult population and is a leading cause of chronic liver disease. Its progression reflects interactions among metabolic dysfunction, genetic suscept...

The Gut-Liver Axis in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Associated Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Interventions.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) comprises a spectrum of liver diseases from simple steatosis to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis and its associated fibrosis, cirrhosis, and MASLD-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (MASLD-HCC). MASLD affects over one-third of the global...

Gut Microbiota in NAFLD/MASLD: Functional Dysbiosis and the Gut–Liver Axis in Disease Progression

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), now largely encompassed by the metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) framework, is a leading cause of chronic liver disease worldwide and is closely linked to obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cardiometabolic dysfunc...

MASLD beyond the liver: decoding the gut–genetic–metabolic nexus

Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is the most prevalent chronic liver disorder globally and is tightly linked to obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. MASLD spans a continuum from simple steatosis to metabolic dysfunction–ass...
