The association of adiponectin gene polymorphisms with susceptibility and progression of NAFLD in a cohort of Egyptian patients

Egyptian Liver Journal, 2021
Background Several genetic polymorphisms have been proven to play a key role in the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) from simple steatosis to NASH with fibrosis.

Endemic diversity and distribution of the Iranian vascular flora across phytogeographical regions, biodiversity hotspots and areas of endemism

Scientific Reports, 2019
Endemism is one of the most important concepts in biogeography and is of high relevance for conservation biology. Nevertheless, our understanding of patterns of endemism is still limited in many regions of high biodiversity.

A Novel Function of Nonadecanoic Acid in Regulating Glucose Homeostasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the odd‐chain fatty acid C19:0 as an endogenous ligand of GPR120 that promotes glucose homeostasis via Gαq signaling. In obesity, elevated palmitic acid suppresses endogenous C19:0 production through a miRNA–PPARα–HACL1 pathway, offering a promising direction for understanding the role of OCFAs in human health.

Preliminary Proteomic and Metabolomic Analyses Reveal Potential Serum Biomarkers for Identifying Alveolar Echinococcosis in Mice

Veterinary Sciences
Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a chronic and potentially fatal zoonotic parasitic disease that seriously affects the host’s health. It is caused by the proliferation of Echinococcus multilocularis larvae within the liver.

Study on molecular expression of long non-coding RNA Glypican3 in hepatocellular cancer patients

Egyptian Liver Journal, 2022
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the main cancers in the world with a high mortality rate. The molecular mechanisms of HCC are poorly understood. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have a role in HCC pathogenesis.

Multicohort Validation of Gut Microbiome Signatures for Cholangiocarcinoma Diagnosis and Functional Characterization of Bifidobacterium Pseudocatenulatum

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study analyzes gut bacteria in cholangiocarcinoma patients, revealing distinct microbial signatures that enable accurate disease detection. Species‐based diagnostic models achieved over 98% accuracy in identifying cholangiocarcinoma and distinguished it from other liver diseases. The research demonstrates that specific beneficial bacteria suppress
