2) Clarify underlying pathogenic defects in NAFLD and NASH, focusing on the specific contributions of lipotoxicity, the microbiome, innate immune signalling, and drivers of fibrosis;

3) Highlight emerging prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers that are yielding new, more streamlined clinical trial designs that evaluate novel therapies.
