Gut Microbiota as a Mediator Between Intestinal Fibrosis and Creeping Fat in Crohn's Disease
ABSTRACT Intestinal stricture remains one of the most challenging complications in Crohn's disease, and its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Accumulating evidence suggests that gut microbiota is significantly altered in stenotic intestines and may play a key role in the development of fibrogenesis in Crohn's disease.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Weight loss is an effective therapeutic strategy for patients with metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). This study aimed to identify factors that predict relevant weight loss, defined as at least 7% of initial body weight, in MASLD outpatients.

Obesity Alters the Vascular Morphology and VEGF‐A Signaling in Adipose Tissue
Obesity alters cell geometry and vessel morphology in mice adipose tissue by increasing adipocyte size by 78% and reducing vessel density by 51%, while vessel size and capillary basement membrane thickness remain unchanged. Obesity also affects angiogenesis, which is mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) binding kinetics.

The Impact of Toll‐Like Receptor 5 on Liver Function in Age‐Related Metabolic Disorders
Toll‐like receptor 5 (TLR5) deficiency accelerates age‐related metabolic disorders, leading to obesity, fatty liver, and cellular changes such as lipid accumulation in PMHs (hepatocytes) and activation of HSCs (hepatic stellate cells), which drive fibrosis.
