Dietary niacin intake may benefit individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with a study suggesting that a higher intake lowers the risk of mortality.

In the EMERALD-1 trial, durvalumab plus bevacizumab (D+B) combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) improved progression-free survival (PFS) in individuals with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) eligible for embolization.

Treatment with larsucosterol is safe and well tolerated in patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH), as shown in a recent study.
