Liver Fibrosis: Molecular Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Interventions
We systematically summarized the etiologies, diagnostic approaches, and pathogenic mechanisms of liver fibrosis. Also, the therapeutic interventions for liver fibrosis were systematically classified into two main categories: etiological treatment and mechanism‐based antifibrotic therapies.

This study characterized the sex‐dependent hepatic molecular mechanisms of action of dietary cocoa in the context of a high‐fat diet in a mouse model. These findings demonstrate the potential of dietary cocoa as a clinical intervention in managing obesity‐associated fatty liver diseases in both sexes.

Structural and functional characterization of the oxidoreductase a-DsbA1 from wolbachia pipientis
The α-proteobacterium Wolbachia pipientis is a highly successful intracellular endosymbiont of invertebrates that manipulates its host\u27s reproductive biology to facilitate its own maternal transmission. The fastidious nature of Wolbachia and the

Abstract The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) provides a specialized environment for the folding of secreted and membrane proteins, a process supported by many different chaperones. Among these chaperones, peptidyl‐prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases) catalyze a rate‐limiting conformational step in protein folding, yet the principles governing isoform ...
