OCTN2 Activates a Non‐Canonical Carnitine Metabolic Pathway to Promote MASH‐HCC Progression and Immunotherapy Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In non‐MASH‐HCC, L‐carnitine promotes tumor progression primarily through its classical role in enhancing fatty acid oxidation (FAO). However, in MASH‐HCC, where FAO is markedly suppressed, L‐carnitine shifts from this canonical function to serve instead as an intracellular acetyl group buffer.

Drug-Coated Balloon Angioplasty for Hemodialysis Fistula Maintenance [PDF]

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2018
Vascular access is the lifeline for patients with ESKD on hemodialysis. Mature arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the best type of vascular access, because they have a lower infection rate, have longer durability, and need fewer maintenance procedures compared with arteriovenous grafts and ...
