| Core Tip |
Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide and carries a risk of progression to hepatocellular carcinoma. Microplastics have emerged as environmental hazards and have been detected in human tissues, including the liver, brain, and blood. Recent preclinical evidence links microplastic exposure to MASLD through mechanisms involving metabolic stress, inflammation, and autophagy dysfunction, with potential clinical implications. |
