A Framework for Emergency Department–Integrated Hepatitis C Test‐and‐Treat in the United States
ABSTRACT Despite the availability of curative, direct‐acting antiviral therapy, hepatitis C virus elimination remains incomplete. Losses across the care cascade continue to limit impact, from initial diagnosis to sustained virologic response. Fewer than 1/3 of individuals ultimately achieve cure. These gaps reflect a delivery system that does not align

COMPLEMENT-MEDIATED ADIPOCYTE LYSIS BY NEPHRITIC FACTOR SERA [PDF]
Recent data indicate a previously unsuspected link between the complement system and adipocyte biology. Murine adipocytes produce key components of the alternative pathway of complement and are able to activate this pathway.

ABSTRACT The coexistence of primary phospholipase A2 receptor positive membranous nephropathy and AA amyloidosis in a patient with chronic hepatitis B is an exceedingly rare triad presenting a profound diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. A 38‐year‐old Ethiopian man with nephrotic syndrome and chronic hepatitis B had dual pathology on renal biopsy ...

Leveraging extracellular vesicle biology for novel tests and therapeutics for kidney fibrosis
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are bilipid membrane‐encased nanoparticles that play critical roles as cell‐to‐cell messengers and waste management mechanisms. EVs cargos can be leveraged as biomarkers to develop minimally invasive tests for kidney fibrosis and guide personalised mechanism‐driven care.
