A systems biology-based approach to deciphering the etiology of steatosis employing patient-derived dermal fibroblasts and iPS cells

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) comprises a broad spectrum of disease states ranging from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). As a result of increases in the prevalences of obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia, the number of people with hepatic steatosis cont...
