A team of UofL researchers, including Drs. Irina Kirpich Josiah Hardesty, Dennis Warner, and Craig McClain and graduate student Jeffrey Warner, along with colleagues at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, has discovered four significant alterations in proteins involved in alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) and alcohol-associated cirrhosis (AC), common forms of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) that have poor prognosis and for which standard treatments offer limited effectiveness.
