Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 25% of the world population. Many of these patients subsequently develop non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a progressive chronic liver disease for which there is no approved treatment. NASH is projected to be the leading cause of liver failure and transplant in the coming decades. Inflammatory and pro-fibrotic pathways are well established drivers of NASH progression; however, recent work has identified additional cell types as novel regulators of these pathways. Thus, this symposium will focus on less studied immune lineages — such as T helper cells, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and natural killer (NK) cells, as well as other non-traditional cell types — including fibroblasts, liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), and hepatocytes, which are emerging as critical contributors to NAFLD and NASH. The overarching aim of the meeting is to highlight novel mechanisms that may present new therapeutic targets for chronic liver diseases.
