DOI: 10.1016/j.livres.2023.11.002Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), recently renamed metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), is spectrum of diseases that ranges from non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Invasive liver biopsy continues to be the gold standard...
Ultrasound research specialist and 2023 MIT Excellence Award winner Nicole Henning adapts ultrasound technology for more sensitive, less invasive imaging for disease modeling. Nicole Henning did not foresee becoming an expert in ultrasound imaging. Before joining Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research at MIT as an ultrasound research specialist at the Preclinical Imaging and Testing (P&IT) Core...
