ABSTRACT Aims To examine the association between branched‐chain α‐keto acids (BCKAs) and pancreatic steatosis in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods This cross‐sectional study was conducted from January 2023 to March 2025. Upper abdominal computerized tomography was performed, pancreatic volume (PV), PV index (PVI), CT attenuation of pancreas

Proteostasis in the regulation of pancreatic islet cell plasticity
Adaptive proteostasis integrates protein synthesis, folding, trafficking, and degradation through ISR, UPR, ER stress responses, autophagy, and proteasomal degradation. In pancreatic islet cells, this coordinated network preserves protein quality, secretory function, proliferation, and survival, enabling adaptation to metabolic stress and aging while ...

Associations between diet quality and adult acne: A cross sectional study in the UK Biobank
Mediterranean‐style diet adherence was associated with lower odds of adult acne, particularly in women. In men, a low‐carbohydrate, high‐meat dietary pattern showed higher odds. Cooked vegetables and yoghurt were inversely associated, whereas pork, skimmed milk and milk‐based desserts showed positive associations.

Modulation of sebocyte function in acne: A pathway‐inclusive review
Acne is multifactorial, with the sebocyte acting as a central immunometabolic hub linking lipogenic, inflammatory, hormonal and barrier pathways. Mapping established and investigational therapies onto this sebocyte‐centred model offers a mechanism‐based framework that complements existing treatment paradigms and may guide more targeted, antibiotic ...

Periodontitis and Diabetes: Mechanistic Evidence of a Circular Relationship
This narrative review aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms that connect periodontitis to diabetes (and vice versa) and that influence disease susceptibility, progression and response to treatment. ABSTRACT The circular relationship between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus is one of the most established oral‐systemic links.
