Abstract
Alcoholic hepatitis is characterized by intense liver inflammation driven by excessive cytokines and chemokines production and immune cell infiltration. Here the authors identify a super-enhancer that regulates the expression of multiple CXCL chemokines in alcoholic hepatitis and may be a potential therapeutic target.
