Nature 2019;567:187–193.URL https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-0984-ySummary: Novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in the blood that can predict early fatty liver disease were identified, using a proteomic and lipidomic-wide systems genetic approach in 107 genetically distinct mouse strains. In addition, the novel lipid-regulatory protein, PSMD9, was identified as...
