Background and aimsAlcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) is the most life-threatening form of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). AH is characterized by severe inflammation attributed to increased levels of ethanol, microbes or microbial components, and damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules in the liver. HSPB1 (Heat Shock Protein Family B (Small) Member 1; also known as Hsp25/27) is a DAMP that is rapidly increased in and released from cells experiencing stress, including hepatocy...
