Alcohol Exposure Alters the Ghrelin System: In Vitro Mechanistic Insights Into Impaired Glucose Sensing and Enhanced Ghrelin Secretion

Alcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, Volume 50, Issue 8, August 2026.
Chronic ethanol exposure increases ghrelin production by impairing glucose sensing in ghrelin‐secreting cells. Ethanol elevates ghrelin and ghrelin O‐acyltransferase expression, blunts glucose‐mediated suppression, and synergizes with fatty acids to enhance secretion.

Pyruvate kinase deficiency in sub-Saharan Africa: identification of a highly frequent missense mutation (G829A;Glu277Lys) and association with malaria.

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundPyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency, causing hemolytic anemia, has been associated to malaria protection and its prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa is not known so far.

Optimization of a modeling platform to predict oncogenes from genome‐scale metabolic networks of non‐small‐cell lung cancers

FEBS Open Bio, 2021
Cancer cell dysregulations result in the abnormal regulation of cellular metabolic pathways. By simulating this metabolic reprogramming using constraint‐based modeling approaches, oncogenes can be predicted, and this knowledge can be used in prognosis ...

Tipping point and molecular mechanism of the transformation of lung adenocarcinoma in situ to invasive adenocarcinoma: A study based on dynamic network markers in systems biology

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
A dynamic network biomarker (DNBs) linking the transformation from lung AIS to IAC. Key differential genes and pathways were identified, establishing MIA as the critical tipping point for transformation. Abstract Background Lung adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), characterised by ground‐glass nodules as observed in computed tomography imaging, generally ...

Identification of candidate genes for milk production traits by RNA sequencing on bovine liver at different lactation stages

BMC Genetics, 2020
Background RNA-sequencing was performed to explore the bovine liver transcriptomes of Holstein cows to detect potential functional genes related to lactation and milk composition traits in dairy cattle. The bovine transcriptomes of the nine liver samples

Metabolic Regulation of Immune Responses: Molecular Mechanisms, Diseases, and Therapeutic Targets

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
FBP1 loss drives immune evasion and therapy resistance by enhancing glycolysis, STAT3 activation, and PD‐L1 expression, leading to T cell exhaustion and NK cell inhibition. FBP1 restoration, via LNP‐mRNA or epigenetic modulation, reverses these immunosuppressive effects, reactivates cytotoxic T cells, promotes M1 macrophage polarization, and enhances ...

Phenotypic and molecular genetic analysis of Pyruvate Kinase deficiency in a Tunisian family

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2016
Pyruvate Kinase (PK) deficiency is the most frequent red cell enzymatic defect responsible for hereditary non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. The disease has been studied in several ethnic groups. However, it is yet an unknown pathology in Tunisia.

Molecular heterogeneity of pyruvate kinase deficiency

Haematologica, 2020
Red cell pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is the most common glycolytic defect associated with congenital non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. The disease, transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait, is caused by mutations in the PKLR gene and is ...

Red blood cell membrane proteome as a reporter of disease severity, transfusion impact and genetic background in transfusion‐dependent β‐thalassaemia

British Journal of Haematology, Volume 208, Issue 6, Page 1980-1992, June 2026.
Summary Omics technologies have transformed research in haemoglobinopathies, yet the proteome of RBCs remains largely unexplored in transfusion‐dependent thalassaemia (TDT). In this proteomic analysis, Red blood cell (RBC) membranes from 48 adults with TDT were compared with healthy controls.
