High prevalence of maturity‐onset diabetes of the young in the Czech Republic: A 25‐year nationwide registry‐based study

open access: yesDiabetic Medicine, Volume 43, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Aims Maturity‐Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) results from a single‐gene defect. This study aimed to determine the minimal prevalence, screening indicators, as well as clinical characteristics of MODY in the Czech Republic based on data from 25 years of the nationwide registry.

Enhancing fetal outcomes in GCK-MODY pregnancies: a precision medicine approach via non-invasive prenatal GCK mutation detection

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
BackgroundMutations in the GCK gene cause Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (GCK-MODY) by impairing glucose-sensing in pancreatic beta cells. During pregnancy, managing this type of diabetes varies based on fetal genotype.

Quinazolin-4-one derivatives lacking toxicity-producing attributes as glucokinase activators: design, synthesis, molecular docking, and in-silico ADMET prediction

open access: yesFuture Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2019
Background A small library of quinazolin-4-one clubbed thiazole acetates/acetamides lacking toxicity-producing functionalities was designed, synthesized, and evaluated for antidiabetic potential as glucokinase activators (GKA).

ChREBP‐β Exacerbates Renal Tubular Disorders Caused by Fructose via ATF4

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
Schematic diagram of the mechanism underlying fructose‐induced renal tubular injury via ChREBP‐β‐mediated disruption of endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondrial homeostasis. This diagram illustrates that fructose induces the transcriptional activation of ChREBP‐β, which subsequently triggers endoplasmic reticulum stress, disturbs inter‐organelle calcium

Molecular Physiology of Mammalian Glucokinase [PDF]

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2008
The glucokinase (GCK) gene was one of the first candidate genes to be identified as a human "diabetes gene". Subsequently, important advances were made in understanding the impact of GCK in the regulation of glucose metabolism. Structure elucidation by crystallography provided insight into the kinetic properties of GCK.

Decoding the Pathophysiology of Autoimmune Diseases—Mechanism, Triggers, and Nanotherapeutics: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 4, April 2026.
This review highlights how autoimmune diseases arise from intertwined immunological, genetic, and environmental factors, emphasizing gut microbiota dysbiosis as a pivotal driver. It outlines emerging nanotechnology‐based strategies—such as liposomes, hydrogels, and polymeric nanoparticles—that enhance targeted drug delivery, minimize systemic toxicity,

Hexokinase and Glucokinases Are Essential for Fitness and Virulence in the Pathogenic Yeast Candida albicans

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The pathogenic yeast Candida albicans is both a powerful commensal and a pathogen of humans that can infect wide range of organs and body sites. Metabolic flexibility promotes infection and commensal colonization by this opportunistic pathogen.
