About

A co-authored poster by ProSciento and Nordic Bioscience was presented at the SLD EASL Summit by Diana Julie Leeming, mMBA, MSc, PhD, Senior Director, Hepatic & Pulmonary Research at Nordic Bioscience. The poster explores non-invasive biomarkers for hepatic fibrosis in patients at risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

MASH-related fibrosis results from excessive collagen deposition, increasing liver stiffness. Our research investigates how PRO-C3, PRO-C4, and PRO-C6 biomarkers—which assess fibroblast activation and endothelial damage—correlate with liver stiffness in patients at risk due to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
