Medical research highlights liver and gastrointestinal health developments

Recent medical research presented at the VI National Congress of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in Moldova explores various aspects of liver and gastrointestinal health.

Studies examine the molecular and clinical correlations between renal and hepatic fibrosis, highlighting common mechanisms such as TGF-β/SMAD and Wnt/β-catenin pathways. Other research focuses on alcohol-related liver disease, tracing its progression from hepatic steatosis to irreversible cirrhosis.

Additionally, investigations into metabolic associated steatotic liver disease highlight its impact on cardiovascular pathology in children and adolescents. Further analysis explores the role of glycation in colorectal cancer and its potential influence on the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy in solid tumors.
