Article Synopsis
  • Gremlin-1 has been linked to liver fibrosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) by inhibiting BMP signaling, making it a potential focus for therapy.* -
  • In studies using rat and human models, blocking Gremlin-1 with antibodies did not reduce liver inflammation or fibrosis, despite its increased presence in specific myofibroblast cells.* -
  • Findings indicate that Gremlin-1 does not significantly contribute to liver fibrosis development and is not a viable target for treatment due to its limited role in the disease process.*

Background: Real-world data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) are scarce and few studies have analysed the generic HRQoL.

Objectives: To assess HRQoL using the generic EQ-5D instrument and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) instrument in PPP compared to plaque psoriasis.

Methods: Cross-sectional data from PsoReg, the Swedish National Registry for Systemic Treatment of Psoriasis (2006-2021), were examined.

Background: Real-world data on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) are scarce and studies have been restricted in terms of instruments used for assessments.

Objective: To assess generic and dermatology-specific HRQoL of patients with GPP compared with patients with plaque psoriasis using real-world data from the Swedish National Register for Systemic Treatment of Psoriasis.

Methods: Cross-sectional data from 2006 to 2021 including 7041 individuals with plaque psoriasis without GPP and 80 patients with GPP, of which 19% also had plaque psoriasis.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease that leads to progressive disability. Cost studies have mainly explored the early stages of the disease, whereas late-stage patients are underrepresented.

Objective: The aim is to evaluate the resource utilization and costs of PD management in people with late-stage disease.

Background: Hepatocellular senescence may be a causal factor in the development and progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The most effective currently available treatment for NASH is lifestyle intervention, including dietary modification. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary intervention on hallmarks of NASH and molecular signatures of hepatocellular senescence in the Gubra-Amylin NASH (GAN) diet-induced obese (DIO) and biopsy-confirmed mouse model of NASH.
