Molecular Research on Drug Induced Liver Injury

Int J Mol Sci. 2018 Jan 11;19(1):216. doi: 10.3390/ijms19010216.

Abstract

Drugs may cause liver injury in a few susceptible individuals, but the molecular events that lead to this idiosyncratic, largely dose-independent and non-predictable drug-induced liver injury (DILI) are mostly unknown, since animal models to explore the pathogenetic mechanisms of human idiosyncratic DILI are not yet reliable.[...].
