Review Article: Targeting Peroxisome Proliferator‐Activated Receptors in Primary Biliary Cholangitis

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 63, Issue 9, Page 1215-1235, May 2026.
Peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor (PPAR) agonists have emerged as important second‐line treatments in primary biliary cholangitis, with profiles influenced by different selectivity for α‐, δ‐ and γ‐isoforms. PPAR‐α and PPAR‐δ agonism improve cholestasis, with inflammation reduced via all isoforms. PPAR‐δ agonism also reduces pruritus.

The Genetic Landscape of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia in Greece

Clinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 837-846, May 2026.
We investigated 112 Greek index‐cases with hereditary spastic paraplegia collected over > 25 years using NGS and MLPA. We identified a causative variant in 68 patients (60.7%), including 7 novel causative variants. This study presents a comprehensive overview of the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of HSP in the Greek population.

Diabetes Mellitus Facilitates Gallstone Formation Through CXCR2‐NETs–Mediated Liver‐Bile Barrier Damage

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 24, 27 April 2026.
Diabetes is an independent risk factor for gallstones. It upregulates CXCR2 expression in hepatic neutrophils, stimulating the formation of NETs that disrupt hepatocellular tight junctions and the liver‐bile barrier. NETs enter bile to accelerate gallstone development, while sarcosine inhibits CXCR2 and NETs production, effectively reducing diabetes ...

A Lung‐Immune Dual‐Humanized Mouse Using Cryopreserved Tissue Enables Infection and Immune Profiling of Human Common Cold Coronaviruses

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
Cryopreserved lung‐humanized mice overcome the dependency to fresh tissues and permit head‐to‐head profiling of all four human common cold coronaviruses versus SARS‐CoV‐2 infection; the model validates Paxlovid efficacy against HKU1 and, when coupled with human immune‐system engraftment, enables interrogation of lung‐resident human immunity and HKU1 ...
