Gene expression profiling unravels cancer-related hepatic molecular signatures in steatohepatitis but not in steatosis.

BACKGROUND: Pathogenesis and factors for determining progression of alcoholic and non-alcoholic steatosis to steatohepatitis with risk of further progression to liver cirrhosis and cancer are poorly understood. In the present study, we aimed to identify potential molecular signatures for discriminat...
