Researchers from the University of Virginia Medical School have discovered the main factor causing the development of fatty liver disease. And the journal “Genium Research” indicates that previous studies have shown that cell nuclei can wrinkle, and this is linked to metabolic diseases, such as diabetes and fatty liver, and even aging. .
In the new study, the researchers discovered that the appearance of a wrinkle on the nuclear lamina affects the activity of genes responsible for fat accumulation. When these genes become too active, too much fat builds up in the liver, which leads to fatty liver disease.
