A Framework for Emergency Department–Integrated Hepatitis C Test‐and‐Treat in the United States

open access: yesJournal of Viral Hepatitis, Volume 33, Issue 6, June 2026.
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

Leveraging extracellular vesicle biology for novel tests and therapeutics for kidney fibrosis

open access: yesClinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
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.
