Hepatic fibrosis in patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis receiving methotrexate: A cross‐sectional analysis using transient elastography

Rheumatology & Autoimmunity
Background Among patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), several factors have been associated with hepatic fibrosis, including exposure to methotrexate (MTX) and metabolic syndrome.

Mechanoactive Biomaterials for Cell–Matrix Mechanotransduction

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract shows how individual triggers (force, light, or temperature) and combined optothermal or receptor‐targeted actuation induce material responses at the tissue, cellular, and receptor scales. Their spatial (global or focused) and temporal (continuous or cyclic) modulation determines the resulting mechanical output.

Association of insulin resistance indicators with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients with metabolic syndrome

BMC Gastroenterology
Background To investigate the association of four insulin resistance (IR) indicators with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS), as well as to compare the diagnostic value of these indicators in identifying hepatic ...

The ancestral haplotype markers HLA -A3 and B7 do not influence the likelihood of advanced hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis in HFE hemochromatosis

Scientific Reports, 2023
Advanced hepatic fibrosis occurs in up to 25% of individuals with C282Y homozygous hemochromatosis. Our aim was to determine whether human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A3 and B7 alleles act as genetic modifiers of the likelihood of advanced hepatic fibrosis ...

Rab1A Promotes Hepatic Steatosis by Suppressing Mitophagy via the Raf‐1/ERK1/2/PINK1 Signaling Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Why does fat accumulate in the liver? Our study reveals Rab1A as the molecular switch that silences the cell's mitochondrial cleanup crew. Turning Rab1A off reactivates mitophagy, clears excess fat, and reverses fatty liver disease in mice—offering a promising new therapeutic target for MASLD, a growing global health challenge.

Hepatic abscess and cystic fibrosis [PDF]

Postgraduate Medical Journal, 1988
Summary Extrapulmonary infection is rare in cystic fibrosis. We describe two adult patients with cystic fibrosis whose course was complicated by the development of liver abscesses. The possible aetiology of these abscesses is discussed and the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of pyogenic hepatic abscess is briefly reviewed.

Copper‐Driven Epithelial Barrier Disruption: A Novel Mechanism of COPD Acute Exacerbations Mediated by the TNF‐α/ATP7A Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a copper‐driven mechanism of COPD acute exacerbations mediated by the TNF‐α/ATP7A axis. TNF‐α suppresses the copper transporter ATP7A via competitive NF‐κB/CREB1/CBP signaling, resulting in intracellular copper accumulation, mitochondrial oxidative stress, and epithelial barrier disruption.

Immune Interactions in Hepatic Fibrosis [PDF]

Clinics in Liver Disease, 2008
Liver cirrhosis is caused by iterative cycles of tissue injury, inflammation, and repair. Although most causes of acute hepatitis resolve without scarring, chronic hepatitis is associated with persistent inflammation and matrix remodeling, which leads to fibrosis and, eventually, cirrhosis.

TRAIP Mediates Alcohol‐Induced Liver Injury through Regulating β‐catenin Ubiquitin Degradation via Direct Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that NF‐κB1‐driven TRAIP upregulation in ALD correlates with disease severity. Mechanistically, TRAIP directly binds β‐catenin via its CC domain and promotes its K48‐linked ubiquitination and degradation, which is independent of the GSK3β/β‐TrCP pathway.

Pre‐Regenerative Endothelial Cells Empowered by Antler Blood Exosomes Orchestrate Peripheral Nerve Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The pre‐regenerative vascular niche (PVN) is essential for nerve repair, yet its endothelial blueprint remains unclear. We identified angiogenic ECs (AECs) as the dominant pre‐regenerative subset and found that antler blood–derived exosomes (AB‐EXO) promote repair via IMP3.
