Great talk by YI E. Torrejón on how gut EV-kupffer cell interaction contributes to MASLD #SLDsummit HFD gut-EVs carry Selenocysteine Lyase (SCLY) to Kupffer cells, attenuating pro-inflammatory activity. It also activates ZEB2, inhibiting fibrogenesis @easlnews.bsky.social

Stijn Meijnikman on the role of auto-brewery 🍺🦠 in SLD The goal for the future is to use personalised medicine to eliminate high-ethanol-producing bacteria (gut microbiota transplantation, phages, antibiotics, pre|probiotics) @easlnews.bsky.social #SLDsummit @debbieshawcross.bsky.social #Liversky

Martinez-Chantar addresses potential mitochondria-targeting therapies in MASLD, focusing on: 🎯 Methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ) 🎯 Glutaminase 1 (GLS1) 🎯 Mg2+ transporter CNNM4 using GalNAc-siRNA conjugates 💉 @easlnews.bsky.social #SLDsummit #Liversky

🤩🤩🤩 Loved your presentation @dinatiniakos.bsky.social ! Great overview of where liver biopsy and pathology fits within the new MASLD nomenclature; and what the future holds with upcoming innovations! 👏🏼

@rautoupe.bsky.social provides an update on endothelium-platelet interactions in SLD: 🎯 LSEC capillarisation increases with liver fibrosis in MASLD 🎯 Aspirin improves MASLD 🎯 Likely by inhibiting platelet accumulation and/or platelet EV release @easlnews.bsky.social #SLDSummit

Happy to join Bluesky. My main priority will be to contribute building a community of patient-oriented liver lovers. I also want to post about humanism, creativity, photos…. I was playing this morning to create a logo for the liver community. Cheers to all.

Alcohol use disorders increase after bariatric surgery. Why? 🎯 Increased consumption, sure, but also: 🎯 Alcohol pharmacokinetics 🎯 Gut hormone secretion changes Anja Geerts @easlnews.bsky.social #SLDSummit #liversky

The first Young Investigator selected talk @ the #SLDSummit is pure basic science 😍 Erika Paolini used spatial transcriptomics to map the metabolic zonation of hepatocytes in MASLD, showing that PNPLA3 affects zonation by impairing periportal function 🧫🔬⚗️🧬🧪 @easlnews.bsky.social #liversky

There is still a lot of debate on the fatty liver disease / SLD nomenclature change, almost 2 years after endorsement by the leading Hepatology societies. Philip Newsome reflects on the importance to keep discussing the reasoning behind this change @easlnews.bsky.social #SLDSummit #liversky
