Abstract Bariatric surgery shows variable efficacy in resolving metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), with mechanisms underlying therapeutic heterogeneity remaining unclear. Using multiple male murine MASH models, we demonstrate that vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) ameliorates hepatic steatosis and fibrosis through mechanisms that extend beyond weight loss.

1 Introduction Global energy shortages and ecological deterioration have prompted the widespread adoption of lightweight solutions across various industries [1, 2]. Nature-inspired biomimetic structures, such as those mimicking bamboo nodes, sponge architectures, and biological skeletal designs, have been extensively demonstrated to significantly enhance the mechanical performance of energy absorption devices [3]. For instance, research by Devin et al.
