Investigators from CMR Curediab Metabolic Research GmbH recently disclosed preclinical data for a novel hepatoprotective thioacrylamide compound, HK-3, being developed for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).
At last week’s EASL meeting, Janssen Pharmaceutica NV disclosed the discovery and preclinical evaluation of a novel pan-genotypic hepatitis E virus (HEV) replication inhibitor, JNJ-64779117 (JNJ-9117).
SA-012 is an N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) conjugated silencing RNA (siRNA) that targets the mRNA of the PD-L1 gene and is being developed by Suzhou Siran Biotechnology Co. Ltd. for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).

Previous studies have found that the effectiveness of vaccines can be increased with the knockdown of HBsAg using a small interfering RNA (siRNA). The efficacy of a bivalent mRNA vaccine in combination with the siRNA AD-66810, which targets the X gene expression in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome, was tested in a murine model of AAV/HBV by scientists from Clearb Therapeutics Inc.
Throughout the 2024 annual congress of the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), held in Milan last week, almost all basic tracks included some reference to epigenetics, or changes to the chromatin that affect how accessible a gene is to the transcription machinery.
In metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) preclinical models, absence of the lipid droplet-associated protein hydroxysteroid 17β dehydrogenase 13 (17β-HSD13) has been identified as protective against liver fibrosis.
The ongoing European Association for the Study of the Liver 2024 congress in Milan opened yesterday with several presentations on cell plasticity and its role in liver function and regeneration in chronic liver disease situations.
Concurrent infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis delta virus (HDV) may lead to cirrhosis, fulminant hepatitis or hepatocellular carcinoma faster than infection with HBV alone.
