Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a progressive phase of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) that develops into irreversible liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, ultimately necessitating liver transplantation as the sole life-saving option. However, given the drawbacks of liver transplantation, including invasiveness, chronic immunosuppression, and a lack of donor livers, prompt diagnosis and effective treatment are indispensable. Due to the limitations of liver biopsy and conventional imaging modalities in diagnosing MASH, as well as the potential hazards associated with liver-protecting medicines, numerous nanoformulations have been created for MASH theranostics. Particularly, there has been significant study interest in artificial nanoparticles, natural biomaterials, and bionic nanoparticles that exhibit exceptional biocompatibility and bioavailability. In this review, we summarized extracellular vesicles (EVs)-based omics analysis and FeO-based functional magnetic nanoparticles as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents for MASH diagnosis. Additionally, artificial nanoparticles such as organic and inorganic nanoparticles, as well as natural biomaterials such as cells and cell-derived EVs and bionic nanoparticles including cell membrane-coated nanoparticles, have also been reported for MASH treatment owing to their specific targeting and superior therapeutic effect. This review has the potential to stimulate advancements in nanoformulation fabrication techniques. By exploring their compatibility with cell biology, it could lead to the creation of innovative material systems for efficient theragnostic uses for MASH. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: People with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) will progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis, or even liver cancer. It is imperative to establish effective theragnostic techniques to stop MASH from progressing into a lethal condition. In our review, we summarize the advancement of artificial, natural, and bionic nanoparticles applied in MASH theragnosis. Furthermore, the issues that need to be resolved for these cutting-edge techniques are summarized to realize a more significant clinical impact. We forecast the key fields that will advance further as nanotechnology and MASH research progress. Generally, our discovery has significant implications for the advancement of nanoformulation fabrication techniques, and their potential to be compatible with cell biology could lead to the creation of innovative materials systems for effective MASH theragnostic.
