  • With the effective control of viral hepatitis around the world, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) will become the main cause of liver transplantation in the next ten years. There is a huge number of NASH patients, but currently no drug has been approved by authorities, which represents a large unmet need in clinical practice. The complex pathogenesis of NASH, heterogeneity of this disease, difficulties in diagnosis, and selection of treatment endpoints have brought great challenges to the research and development of new drugs.
