Molecular Steatosis - Imaging & Modeling (LiSyM-MSIM)
OverviewDr. Nachiket Vartak (TU University, Dortmund) investigates the role of a particular protein - the GTPase Rab18 - in initiating NAFLD. He tries to influence Rab18 pharmacologically so that NAFLD is not initiated. Vartak also analyzes how bile acids leave the liver. He hopes to find ways to improve the flow of bile in a liver with dysfunctional bile flow.

This summit will cover both the basic and translational / clinical aspects of NAFLD, with a specific focus on novel drug target and prognostic signature development.
Key sessions include all crucial pathophysiological aspects currently known to affect development and progression of NAFLD, such as "lipid metabolism and lipotoxicity" and "insulin resistance, insulin and hormonal signaling". Furthermore, oxidative stress, ER stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction will be addressed. On the second day, ...
