Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Scene and human face recognition in the central vision of patients with glaucoma. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) firstly mainly affects peripheral vision. Current behavioral studies support the idea that visual defects of patients with POAG extend into parts of the central visual field classified as normal by static automated ...

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has excellent diagnostic accuracy in differentiating focal liver lesions: results from a Swiss tertiary gastroenterological centre

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2019
INTRODUCTION Focal liver lesions (FLLs) are common on conventional ultrasound. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is highly accurate for differentiating between benign and malignant FLLs, with an accuracy comparable to that of contrast ...

Contrast-Enhanced Transrectal Ultrasound for Differential Diagnosis of Focal Pathology of Prostate: Single-Center Retrospective Comparative Study

Кубанский научный медицинский вестник, 2023
Background. Prostate cancer is a frequently diagnosed malignant disease in men. At present transrectal ultrasound is the most common technique for imaging the gland. Traditionally, a combination of grayscale and Doppler modes is used.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

The influence of peripheral vision on driving performance in patients implanted with an inverted meniscus intraocular lens

Scientific Reports
The purpose was to analyze and compare the influence of peripheral vision on driving while performing secondary visual-manual tasks in patients implanted with two types of intraocular lenses (IOLs): a standard monofocal IOL and a new inverted meniscus ...
