Keystone Symposia: Obesity: Causes and Consequences
Obesity prevalence has tripled over the past four decades. Together with its wide range of comorbidities, it accounts for a large proportion of the worldwide non-communicable disease burden. One of the critical barriers in effectively tackling obesity is the prevailing societal perception of it being a simple energy balance problem, one that this meeting seeks to dismantle. In truth there are a myriad of causes that lead to obesity, and as a result a wide array of consequences that emerge.…

MASH AND FIBROSIS: FROM MOLECULAR PHENOTYPES TO PRECISION THERAPEUTICS
Fatty liver disease (FLD) comprises a spectrum of conditions in which excess in liver fat coexists with inflammation, fibrosis and increased risk of cancer. The incidence and prevalence of FLD is increasing rapidly, affecting approximately one in four people globally, with concurrent increases in liver related morbidity and mortality. Despite more than a decade of research from academia and industry, clinical trials have failed to bring effective treatments for FLD with fibrosis. The complex and variable interactions between environmental and…
