Abstract

The pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and NASH-related liver cancer is incompletely understood. In the recent issue of Nature, two studies by Dudek et al. and Pfister et al. revealed the critical role of CD8 T cells in instigating liver damage and promoting liver cancer in NASH.1,2.
