Core Tip	In this editorial, we comment on Yin et al’s recently published Letter to the editor. Despite the widespread diffusion, up to now there have been no drugs capable of reliably blocking the evolution of non-alcoholic steato-hepatitis towards advanced stages of fibrosis. We agree with Yin et al that glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists monotherapy does not perform well as an antifibrotic therapy. The use of combination therapy according to disease stage and co-morbidities, will be also the challenge for the near future.
