Commentary on Hepatic CD147 knockout modulates liver steatosis and up-regulates autophagy in high-fat-diet-induced NAFLD mice

The current work "Hepatic CD147 knockout modulates liver steatosis and up-regulates autophagy in high-fat-diet-induced NAFLD mice" reported the expression of CD147 in liver tissues of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease . Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, also known as metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease, has emerged as the most common form of chronic liver disorder worldwide ADDIN NE .
