Targeting of eIF6-driven translation induces a metabolic rewiring that reduces NAFLD and the consequent evolution to hepatocellular carcinoma

Lipid accumulation in the liver leads to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that is a risk factor for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, the authors show that activation of the translation initiation factor eIF6 promotes lipid accumulation in the liver and targeting eIF6 in murin...
