Core Tip	Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is among the most prevalent chronic liver conditions that has been recognized as an emerging global health problem. Evidence suggests that the gut microbiota plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of NAFLD by influencing liver inflammation through its metabolites. Identifying gut microbial and metabolic signatures opens new avenues for early diagnosis and therapeutic interventions. Microbiota-targeted therapies, including diet, probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation, hold promise for alleviating NAFLD and improving patient outcomes.
