TLDR
2 major subtypes of NAFLD are identified and markers that differentiate steatosis from NASH in each subtype are identified, used to monitor disease progression and identify therapeutic targets for patients.

Mechanisms of NAFLD development and therapeutic strategies

TL;DR: Understanding of pathogenic mechanisms and clinical features of NAFLD is driving progress in therapeutic strategies now in clinical trials and the emerging targets for drug development that involve either single agents or combination therapies intended to arrest or reverse disease progression are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

MAFLD: A Consensus-Driven Proposed Nomenclature for Metabolic Associated Fatty Liver Disease.

TL;DR: Experts reached consensus that NAFLD does not reflect current knowledge and metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease "MAFLD" was suggested as a more appropriate overarching term and opens the door for efforts from the research community to update the nomenclature and sub-phenotype the disease in order to accelerate the translational path to new treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noninvasive Assessment of Liver Disease in Patients With Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

TL;DR: The current state of the noninvasive assessment of liver disease in NAFLD is summarized, and an expert synthesis of how these nonin invasive tools could be utilized in clinical practice is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noninvasive biomarkers in NAFLD and NASH - current progress and future promise.

TL;DR: Current and potential biomarkers for different features of NAFLD, namely, steatosis, necroinflammation and fibrosis are reviewed, and MRI-estimated proton density fat fraction is currently the most accurate test to quantify hepatic steatohepatitis and can be considered the gold standard.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: Evolving paradigms

TL;DR: NAFLD is highly prevalent in certain cohorts of individuals who are thus potentially amenable to selective screening strategies, intensive follow-up schedules for early identification of liver-related and extrahepatic complications and in whom earlier and more aggressive treatment schedules should be carried out whenever possible.

A rapid method of total lipid extraction and purification.

TL;DR: The lipid decomposition studies in frozen fish have led to the development of a simple and rapid method for the extraction and purification of lipids from biological materials that has been applied to fish muscle and may easily be adapted to use with other tissues.

Silhouettes: a graphical aid to the interpretation and validation of cluster analysis

TL;DR: A new graphical display is proposed for partitioning techniques, where each cluster is represented by a so-called silhouette, which is based on the comparison of its tightness and separation, and provides an evaluation of clustering validity.

Empirical statistical model to estimate the accuracy of peptide identifications made by MS/MS and database search.

TL;DR: A statistical model is presented to estimate the accuracy of peptide assignments to tandem mass (MS/MS) spectra made by database search applications such as SEQUEST, demonstrating that the computed probabilities are accurate and have high power to discriminate between correctly and incorrectly assigned peptides.
