Activation of intestinal endogenous retroviruses by alcohol exacerbates liver disease

Abstract excerpt

Alcohol-associated liver disease represents a significant global health challenge, with gut microbial dysbiosis and bacterial translocation playing a critical role in its pathogenesis. Patients with alcohol-associated hepatitis had increased fecal abundance of mammalian viruses, including retroviruses. This study investigated the role of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in the development of alcohol-associated...
