Hepatocyte-derived exosomal miR-27a activateshepatic stellate cells through the inhibitionof PINK1-mediated mitophagy in MAFLD

The role of exosome-mediated mitophagy in the crosstalk between hepatocytes (HCs) and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) remains unknown. Serum exosomal miR-27a levels were markedly increased and positively correlated with liver fibrosis in MAFLD patien...
