All-atom simulations reveal how single point mutations promote serpin misfolding
, 2018 Protein misfolding is implicated in many diseases, including the serpinopathies. For the canonical inhibitory serpin {\alpha}1-antitrypsin (A1AT), mutations can result in protein deficiencies leading to lung disease, and misfolded mutants can accumulate ...

Management of chronic airway diseases:What can we learn from real-life data? [PDF]
, 2017 Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) and non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (hereafter referred to as bronchiectasis) are distinct but related airway diseases: COPD is characterised by persistent and usually

The Plasma Free Fatty Acid Carrier Proteome is Altered in Diet‐Induced and Genetically Obese Mice
Obesity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective We aimed to examine the effect of obesity on the plasma free fatty acid (FFA) carrier proteome in mice. Methods From 6 to 20 weeks of age, male and female C57BL/6J wild‐type mice were fed either a low‐fat diet (10% of kilocalories from fat) or a high‐fat diet (60% of kilocalories from fat), and leptin‐deficient ob/ob mice were fed a ...

Respirology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains the third leading cause of death worldwide, and conventional bronchodilator‐based therapies have limited efficacy in preventing exacerbations and disease progression. The 2024–2026 period represents a historic inflection point: three mechanistically distinct agents received Food and Drug ...

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.We conducted a nationwide, multicenter cohort study using a target trial emulation framework to compare baclofen and acamprosate in patients with compensated alcohol‐associated cirrhosis. After matching, baclofen initiation was associated with a higher 1‐year risk of major adverse liver outcomes, driven primarily by hepatic encephalopathy, particularly

Affinity Proteomics‐Based Non‐Invasive Detection of Clinically Significant Liver Disease
Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Using UK Biobank proteomic data, we identified a five‐protein score reflecting hepatic stellate cell activation and hepatocellular injury that predicts major adverse liver outcomes and clinically significant fibrosis, with consistent performance validated in two independent cohorts (patients with HIV and alpha1‐antitrypsin deficiency).
