Theranostic translation applications against viral, metabolic liver diseases and hepatic oncogenesis: lipoprotein and apolipoproteins at a crossroad
An intimate link between microbial infections, metabolic changes and oncogenesis has been drawn attentions increasingly, indicating a crossroad leading to pathogenesis and disease progression. Globally the burden of hepatitis B and C virus infections is 450 and 185 millions, respectively and chronic hepatitis disease causes a high risk of liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and metabolic disorders
