    Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide. The pathological spectrum of NAFLD ranges from simple steatosis to the necro-inflammatory and fibro-progressive form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which may then progress to cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. This web focus features papers from Laboratory Investigation and Modern Pathology that present new models and techniques, diagnostic advances, mechanistic insights and potential innovative therapies for NAFLD and NASH.

    The heterogeneity and relative rarity of soft tissue sarcomas make them challenging targets for classification, biomarker identification, and development of improved treatment strategies. Laboratory Investigation and Modern Pathology are pleased to present a collection of recent articles that enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of these tumors and describe advances that may lead to the development of new diagnostic tests and targeted therapies.
