Abstract in brief

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a significant global health issue that can progress from simple fat buildup in the liver to severe conditions like cirrhosis and liver cancer, with alcohol-related cases contributing substantially to liver-related deaths in the U.S.
Recent research has advanced our understanding of ALD by identifying specific cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in its development, such as signaling pathways, immune responses, and epigenetic changes, yet effective targeted treatments are still lacking.
The current standard treatments for alcoholic hepatitis mainly rely on abstinence, nutritional support, and corticosteroids, highlighting an urgent need for new therapies based on deeper insights into the disease's underlying biology.]
