The insulin‐like growth factor system and the progression of renal complications of type 2 diabetes
Abstract Aims Chronic kidney disease is associated with dysregulation of the insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) system. Alterations in IGF bioavailability, driven by IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs), may influence the decline in renal function. However, the longitudinal relationship between baseline IGF‐I, IGF‐II, IGFBPs and progression of kidney ...

ABSTRACT Aims Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the main causes of kidney failure worldwide. Interestingly, patients affected by DKD are characterised by a low abundance of gut bacteria producing short fatty acids including butyrate, which is suggested to play a role in the decline of renal function.

SGLT‐2 Inhibitors are Associated With a Lower Risk of Multiple Myeloma
ABSTRACT Aims We aimed to investigate drug response of sodium‐glucose transport protein‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in multiple myeloma (MM), as SGLT2i have potential favorable effects on conditions related to MM. Methods We conducted a pharmacoepidemiologic study with a US nationwide health insurance claim data using Cox models to investigate the ...

MRTFs and YAP/TAZ proteins, or mechanosensitive transcriptional cofactors (MRTcoF), regulate common genes associated with cellular contractility and immune cell infiltration. Their differential regulation in response to stiffness is linked to changes in hepatocyte's aspect ratio. MRTFB does not undergo nuclear translocation under these conditions. This
