  • 1

    Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver disease characterized by immune-mediated damage to hepatocytes.

  • 2

    The pathogenesis of AIH involves complex interactions between immune cells and intercellular communication networks.

  • 3

    Current treatments for AIH primarily rely on corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, which have significant side effects.

  • 4

    Emerging therapies focus on precision immune regulation, targeting specific immune pathways and cell types.

  • 5

    Research is ongoing to identify novel therapeutic compounds that can improve AIH management and patient outcomes.
