Bingqian Wang, +3 more
- 02 Nov 2018 - 
TL;DR: The present findings indicated that HBV, and perhaps more specifically HBx, was not a protective factor against NAFLD, and may function as a risk factor for fatty liver disease, based on the findings of the present functional study.

Mohammad Enamul Hoque Kayesh, +12 more
- 10 Oct 2020 - 
TL;DR: This represents the first evaluation of the CRISPR/Cas9 system using an HBV natural infection mode and AAV2/WJ11-Cas9 delivered by comparatively safer AAV 2 vectors may provide a new therapeutic strategy for eliminatingHBV infection and serve as an effective platform for curing chronic HBV infection.
