Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease ( <scp>MASLD</scp> ): Mechanisms, Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Advances

MASLD is a complex, multifactorial liver disease with a growing public health impact, driven by the rising prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a critical nexus linking genetic susceptibility to metabolic stress and inflammatory responses. Preclinical models that capture these mitochondrial contributions are vital for therapeutic discovery and for advancing personalised medicine approaches in MASLD care.
