Leptin Influence Cholelithiasis Formation by Regulating Bile Acid Metabolism.

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020
BACKGROUND Bile acid metabolism is a contributing factor that promotes cholelithiasis. Recent studies have suggested novel roles of leptin in the formation of gallbladder stones (GS); however, no evidence confirmed the function of leptin in the formation

Pyruvate Kinase Function Correlates With Red Blood Cell Properties and Clinical Manifestations in Sickle Cell Disease

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 785-796, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Pyruvate kinase (PK) is a key enzyme involved in the final step of glycolysis, essential to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Relatively decreased red blood cell (RBC) PK activity (reflected by a lower PK/hexokinase [HK] ratio) and PK thermostability (PK activity after exposure to heat) were recently identified as pathophysiological ...

Phenotypic Expansion of Knobloch Syndrome Type 2 in an Individual With a De Novo PAK2 Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT P21‐activated kinase 2 (PAK2) is a serine/threonine kinase essential for a variety of cellular processes including signal transduction, cellular survival, proliferation, and migration. A recent report proposed monoallelic PAK2 variants cause Knobloch syndrome type 2 (KNO2)—a developmental disorder primarily characterized by ocular anomalies ...

Introducing Novel Surgical Clinical Correlations Into an Undergraduate Medical Anatomy Course

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomy education is a hallmark of many preclinical medical school curricula, but students are often unable to identify the clinical relevance of anatomy and its applications. Vertical curricula that integrate clinical concepts into the preclinical basic science years and vice versa have been shown to benefit student learning and increase ...
