Background: Advanced liver fibrosis in cases of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) leads to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The current gold standard for liver fibrosis is invasive liver biopsy. Therefore, a less invasive biomarker that accurately reflects the stage of liver fibrosis is highly desirable.

The TNF-TNFR1 signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in regulating the balance between cell survival and cell death. Upon binding to TNF, plasma membrane-localized TNFR1 initiates survival signaling, whereas TNFR1 internalization promotes caspase-mediated apoptosis. We previously reported that the α2-6 sialylation of TNFR1 by the tumor-associated sialyltransferase ST6GAL1 diverts signaling toward survival by inhibiting TNFR1 internalization.

A substantial portion of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience prolonged complications, known as Long COVID (LC). A subset of these patients exhibits the most debilitating symptoms, similar to those defined in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). We performed bulk RNA sequencing (RNAseq) on the whole blood of LC with ME/CFS, at least 12 months post-onset of the acute disease, and compared them with controls.

Intestinal mucin offers a physical barrier to maintain host-commensal homeostasis. Glycosylation is essential for the appropriate functioning of mucin. Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) have been used as a prebiotic with proven intestinal benefits, while their regulatory mechanism on mucin remains unclear.
