UBD and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: EHF is associated with fibrosis in NAFLD and is upregulated in both datasets; however, other genes associated with advanced fibrosis including CXCL6, STMN2, UBD and DKK3 are upregulated in the clinical study but downregulated in our model, highlighting that our hiPSC-Hep cell system, which lacks the presence of other cell types such as stellate cells, is modeling the early steatosis stage but not advanced fibrosis, as expected.
