Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a highly prevalent liver pathology in need of novel pharmacological treatments to complement lifestyle-based interventions. Nuclear receptor agonists have been under scrutiny as potential pharmacological targets and as of today, resmetirom, a thyroid hormone receptor b agonist, is the only approved agent. The dual PPAR α and δ agonist elafibranor has also undergone extensive clinical testing, which reached the phase III clinical trial but failed to demonstrate a beneficial effect on MASLD.

Multiple clinical trials for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) prevention have been completed. Here, we set out to report on the lessons learnt from these studies. Researchers who conducted RA prevention trials shared the background, rationale, approach and outcomes and evaluated the lessons learnt to inform the next generation of RA prevention trials.

We test here the prediction capabilities of the new generation of deep learning predictors in the more challenging situation of multistate multidomain proteins by using as a case study a coiled-coil family of Nucleotide-binding Oligomerization Domain-like (NOD-like) receptors from and a few extra examples for reference. Results reveal a truly remarkable ability of these platforms to correctly predict the 3D structure of modules that fold in well-established topologies. A lower performance is noticed in modeling morphing regions of these proteins, such as the coiled coils.

Rationale: Locked-in syndrome (and its variant, completely locked-in state) generally has a high mortality rate in the acute setting; however, when induced by conditions such as acute inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, it may well be curable such that an attempt at cure should be systematically sought by clinicians.
Patient Concerns: A 52-year-old man presented with acute tetraparesia and areflexia, initially diagnosed as Guillain-Barré syndrome. Despite appropriate treatment, his condition deteriorated, evolving into a completely locked-in state.

Rationale: ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) fusion is a rare but important driver mutation in non-small cell lung cancer, which usually shows significant sensitivity to small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors. With the widespread application of next-generation sequencing (NGS), more fusions and co-mutations of ROS1 have been discovered. Non-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) is a rare fusion partner of ROS1 gene as reported.
