Effectiveness and Safety of Setmelanotide in a Patient With a Heterozygous PCSK1 Deficiency
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide, a melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist, is a promising pharmacological treatment option for people with rare monogenic obesity conditions affecting the leptin‐melanocortin signaling pathway, including proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) gene mutations.

When Fat Goes Astray: Your Liver and Pancreas Get Into Trouble
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) are both common manifestations of ectopic fat accumulation. Although they share multiple risk factors, they also show notable differences in pathological features, standardization of diagnosis, and research maturity.

Head‐to‐Head Comparison of Four Ultrasound Elastography Techniques in Detecting Advanced Fibrosis
Elastography is an important noninvasive method for diagnosing advanced fibrosis (AF); however, evidence remains insufficient, particularly regarding acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) techniques. This prospective mulitcenter study concludes that vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) demonstrates superior diagnostic performance to ...

Global legal frameworks seek to ensure that benefits arising from the use of biological resources are shared fairly, yet their practical application—particularly where plant materials and Indigenous knowledge are involved—remains challenging. This article presents a case study modelling a pathway for ethical research and commercialisation of Indigenous

ABSTRACT The aggregation of human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP) into cytotoxic oligomers and amyloid fibrils is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), leading to pancreatic β‐cell dysfunction. In contrast, rat IAPP (rIAPP) is largely non‐amyloidogenic. Osmolytes such as glucose, glycerol, and sorbitol are known to stabilize globular protein
