Biomarker for steatohepatitis (fatty liver disease) identified

Steatohepatitis (fatty liver disease) is a disease that is becoming increasingly more frequent as a result of diabetes and excess weight in an affluent society.

Now researchers report that a biomarker for the illness has been identified.
