RE:Thera announcement

She is the lead author on the JCI transciptome article and was co-author on some of the other Grinspoon lab articles. So this looks like more in depth stuff putting together her genetic findings and how it works in a fatty liver. Maybe it will shed a bit of new light on things from the genetic side again. Wonder why they're pretty specifically saying the effect on NAFLD and not NASH? I guess technically those 61 people in the HIV trial can only be called NAFLD and not NASH. I guess it would be unethical to call it anything else, especially at a medical conference.
