Gut function among children treated for severe acute malnutrition: A cohort study in Uganda

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Impaired gut function in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is associated with morbidity. We aimed to assess changes in six biomarkers representing different domains of gut function among children with complicated SAM during nutritional rehabilitation, and to identify predictors of these changes.

Impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies on liver stiffness and liver enzymes: An observational perspective single‐center cohort study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The efficacy of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)‐modulator therapies in preventing or ameliorating cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD) by correcting CFTR in cholangiocytes is not well‐documented. This study aimed to assess liver function during CFTR‐modulators.

Modeling Hereditary Angioedema With Personalized EPSC‐Derived Hepatocytes: A CRISPR‐Validated Platform for Mutation‐Specific Mechanisms and Therapeutic Innovation

Allergy, EarlyView.
Patient‐derived expanded potential stem cell (EPSC) hepatocytes reveal that pathogenic SERPING1 variants cause distinct cellular defects in hereditary angioedema. While most mutations reduce SERPING1 transcription and C1‐INH secretion, a large deletion induces intracellular C1‐INH retention.
