Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Obesity: Pathogenesis, Diagnostics, Risk Stratification, and Therapeutic Approach

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, closely linked to the global rising incidence of obesity and metabolic syndrome. This review synthesizes current evidence on the pathogenesis, gut–liver axis, and multidisciplinary management of MASLD within the ...

Histiocytes: Multifaceted Regulators of Health and Disease

open access: yesVeterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mononuclear phagocyte system encompasses macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), and monocytes. Tissue‐resident macrophages and dendritic cells arise during embryogenesis and are replenished either through self‐renewal or by monocytes during inflammation.

Physiology, pathology and therapeutic potential of microglial triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 signalling: A narrative update

open access: yesClinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
TREM2hi microglia and macrophages exert distinct roles in neurological diseases. Enhancing TREM2 signalling supports pathological protein or debris clearance and mitigates inflammation in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, demyelination disorders and stroke, whereas blocking TREM2 may alleviate tauopathy and ...
