RAGE is a Potential Cause of Onset and Progression of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease by Kamyar Asadipooya, Kamran B. Lankarani, Rishi Raj, Mohammadreza Kalantarhormozi

“…Soluble form of RAGE (sRAGE) has the capability to reduce inflammation by blocking the interaction of AGE with RAGE. However, sRAGE has some limitations, and the best method of usage is probably autotransplantation of transfected stem cells or monocytes, as a precursor of macrophages and Kupffer cells, with a virus that carries sRAGE to alleviate the harmful effects of AGE-RAGE signaling in the settings of fatty liver disease.…”
