“There have been numerous attempts using both new drug development and known drugs to treat Fatty liver Diseases, but to date no established treatment exists for this disease" said Prof. Gilat. "Following the encouraging efficacy results in our numerous animal modes, we are looking forward to advance the drug into patient population rapidly."
