Distinct Gene Expression Profiles of Ara h 2‐Specific B Cells in Desensitization and Tolerance During Peanut Oral Immunotherapy

Allergy, EarlyView.
Gene expression of Ara h 2‐specific B cells over the course of the peanut OIT. Isotype of allergen‐specific B cells changes through OIT towards IgG4. Peanut OIT changes the gene expression of allergen‐specific memory B cells. OIT patients showed increased gene expression for regulatory B cells and immune regulation.

Hypogonadism in Cisgender Men Living With HIV: Prevalence, Clinical and Metabolic Features

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hypogonadism is frequently observed in men living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), although its prevalence, etiology, and predictors remain incompletely understood. Objective To evaluate the prevalence of hypogonadism and its association with metabolic factors in men living with HIV (MLWH), on stable antiretroviral therapy ...

Carriage of the Laboratory of Genetics and Physiology Protein 2 Q425R Variant Reduces Liver Disease Severity in European Patients With Chronic Hepatitis Delta

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In patients with chronic hepatitis Delta, the LGP2 Q425R variant (rs2074158 CC/CT genotypes), associated with an enhanced interferon response in vitro, becomes progressively less frequent as liver disease advances from no cirrhosis to cirrhosis, and to cirrhosis with progressive increase of portal hypertension evaluated by thrombocytopenia.

Review Article: Fibrosis‐4 Index in Steatotic Liver Disease—Past, Present and Future

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
FIB‐4 remains an inexpensive, scalable first‐line triage tool for excluding advanced fibrosis and identifying patients who need second‐line assessment, but it should not be used as a stand‐alone diagnostic or treatment‐selection test. Sequential testing and longitudinal FIB‐4 trajectories may improve risk stratification and prognosis.
