Article Synopsis
- ACBP/DBI is a protein linked to metabolic-associated steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis, showing higher levels in affected patients, correlating strongly with NAFLD and FIB4 scores, regardless of age or body mass index.
- A study used a monoclonal antibody to neutralize ACBP/DBI in various mouse models of liver disease, resulting in reduced signs of liver damage and halting disease progression.
- The results suggest ACBP/DBI plays a causal role in liver conditions and could be a potential therapeutic target for treating liver diseases.
We demonstrate the operation of a plasma-based extreme ultraviolet (XUV) laser at a 1 kHz repetition rate driven by infrared pump pulses of less than 20 mJ. The 41.8 nm laser pulses were generated in a Xe plasma created by optical-field ionization by the L1 Allegra laser at ELI Beamlines.

DNA Repair (Amst)
November 2024
DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) are covalent bonds between bases on opposing strands of the DNA helix which prevent DNA melting and subsequent DNA replication or RNA transcription. Here, we show that Ultraviolet Stimulated Scaffold Protein A (UVSSA) is critical for ICL repair in human cells, at least in part via the transcription coupled ICL repair (TC-ICR) pathway. Inactivation of UVSSA sensitizes human cells to ICL-inducing drugs, and delays ICL repair.

In healthy normal eyes, it has been shown to be very stable across time and between different tasks. Previous measurements of the PRL have been made under monocular viewing conditions.

Cardiovasc Diabetol
September 2024
Background: The aim of this study (EPIDIAB) was to assess the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and the micro and macrovascular complications (MVC) of type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: EPIDIAB is a post hoc analysis from the AngioSafe T2D study, which is a multicentric study aimed at determining the safety of antihyperglycemic drugs on retina and including patients with T2D screened for diabetic retinopathy (DR) (n = 7200) and deeply phenotyped for MVC. Patients included who had undergone cardiac CT for CAC (Coronary Artery Calcium) scoring after inclusion (n = 1253) were tested with a validated deep learning segmentation pipeline for EAT volume quantification.
