Global NASH Council
EASL is Building New Synergies
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or metabolic dysfunction associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is increasingly recognized as one of the most common causes of liver disease worldwide. In order to understand the global impact of this disease, The Global NASH Council was created to include renowned experts from different regions of the world with interest in NASH/MASH to collaborate and exchange their views about NASH. The Global NASH Council includes 50 countries from all the continents across the globe with 170 members. Members of the Council carry out collaborative projects to better understand the burden of NASH across the world. For more details, please see our Mission, Vision and Values.

Metabolism and Target Organ Damage (M&TOD, https://mtodjournal.net ) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access interdisciplinary journal that provides an online platform for the publication of clinical, basic, and translational studies. It covers (cardio)-metabolic disorders per se, such as obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemias, arterial hypertension, and hyperuricemia in all age groups. Of note, this journal will emphasize the role of these metabolic disorders as either effectors/amplifiers or consequences of the development and progression of injuries to target organs including but not limited to the cardiovascular system, the liver, kidneys, and the pancreas. Specific applications in metabolic disorders are as follows: history of the disease, epidemiology, prevention, natural history, genetics, cell, and molecular biology, pathobiochemistry, physiopathology, anatomic pathology, clinical chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmacology, psychology, psychiatry, statistics, and immunology.
