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.

Mechanisms and disease consequences of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an in-depth discussion of the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms that lead to progressive liver injury, including the metabolic origins of NAS, the effect of NAFLD on hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism, bile acid toxicity, macrophage dysfunction, and hepatic stellate cell activation, and consider the role of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors that promote fibrosis progression and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in NASH.

Big Data’s Role in Precision Public Health

TL;DR: This review article aims to identify the precision public health use cases where big data has added value, identify classes of value that big data may bring, and outline the risks inherent in using big data in Precision public health efforts.

Limitations of non-invasive tests for assessment of liver fibrosis.

TL;DR: Understanding the strengths and limitations of these non-invasive tests will allow for more judicious interpretation in the clinical context, where NITs should be viewed as complementary to, rather than as a replacement for, liver biopsy.

Detecting Novel Associations in Large Data Sets

TL;DR: The maximal information coefficient (MIC) as mentioned in this paper is a measure of dependence for two-variable relationships that captures a wide range of associations both functional and not, and for functional relationships provides a score that roughly equals the coefficient of determination (R2) of the data relative to the regression function.

The Connectivity Map: Using Gene-Expression Signatures to Connect Small Molecules, Genes, and Disease

TL;DR: The first installment of a reference collection of gene-expression profiles from cultured human cells treated with bioactive small molecules is created, and it is demonstrated that this “Connectivity Map” resource can be used to find connections among small molecules sharing a mechanism of action, chemicals and physiological processes, and diseases and drugs.

Network pharmacology: the next paradigm in drug discovery.

TL;DR: A new appreciation of the role of polypharmacology has significant implications for tackling the two major sources of attrition in drug development--efficacy and toxicity.
