Molar‐Incisor Hypomineralisation in Children: The Essential Role of Paediatricians

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Molar‐incisor hypomineralisation is a developmental enamel defect characterised by lower mineral content in the tooth's outer layer, discoloured and structurally fragile teeth that are more prone to sensitivity, breakdown and caries. This review aims to summarise current knowledge on molar‐incisor hypomineralisation and highlight key ...

Salivary Proteomic Signatures in Pregnant Women With Excessive Gingival Bleeding

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This observational, cross‐sectional, and analytical study aimed to explore the pathophysiological mechanisms of gingivitis in pregnancy by analyzing the salivary proteomic profile according to gingival bleeding status. Materials and Methods Pregnant women at the 27th week of gestation or beyond were categorized into two groups: those

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

Therapeutic potential of alpha-1 antitrypsin in human disease

Annals of Pediatric Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2018
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), an alpha globulin glycoprotein, is a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. The clinical significance of AAT is highlighted by AAT deficiency. Genetic deficiency of AAT can present as several neutrophilic

Prevalence and risk factors for metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease in Sweden: Insights from the SCAPIS cohort

Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 299, Issue 4, Page 481-501, April 2026.
Abstract Background and Aims Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease globally, but its prevalence and severity remain poorly characterized in the general population. Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of MASLD and the risk of advanced fibrosis in a large Swedish general population ...

MASLD Is Associated With Decreased General Health Perception, Quality of Life and Work Productivity in a Low Fibrosis Population

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Data on quality of life in a low fibrosis prevalence metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) cohort are scarce, as previous research has focused on advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis. This study examined the association between steatosis and general and mental health, as well as productivity in patients in ...

Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 668-687, March 2026.
This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.

Evolution of Prime Editing: Enhancing Efficiency and Expanding Capacity

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Most rare diseases are caused by genetic mutations. Prime editing (PE) has emerged as a versatile tool capable of inducing diverse mutations without generating DNA double‐strand breaks. Despite its significant clinical potential, PE faces limitations in terms of efficiency and scalability.
