🖤 With deep sorrow, we announce the passing of Prof. Dr. Jaime Bosch, President of the Baveno Cooperation.

A brilliant scientist, inspiring leader, and dear friend. His immense legacy in hepatology will endure.

Rest in peace, Jaime

Celebrated 8 incredible years of Stine Lab with a team lunch today! Grateful for the hard work, discoveries, and camaraderie that made our journey so impactful. Here’s to the science, the memories, and the friendships that last far beyond the lab. #MASLD #Research

The muscle–adipose–liver axis is critical, yet underrecognized, in #MASLD.

Sarcopenic obesity affects ~50% with #MASLD and drives ⬆️ ASCVD and liver fibrosis.

Its time to standardize definitions and intervene early:

Most people haven’t heard of this test, which is available in the US. It accurately predicts Alzheimer’s (not just if there’s a risk, but when). It is modulated by exercise and likely other lifestyle factors.
Here’s (almost) everything we know about it
