Progress towards achieving global elimination of hepatitis B virus (HBV) by 2030 remains unsatisfactory. Prevention of mother to child transmission is crucial but current Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) gave diverse recommendations, creating confusion and leading to significant challenges in the practical implementation across various regions owing to global inequity. We reviewed 47 CPGs on the management of hepatitis B during pregnancy against twelve important clinical questions.

Pilomatrixoma, also called Malherbe's calcifying epithelioma or pilomatrixoma, is a benign adnexal tumor that originates from keratinocytes (cells of the hair matrix, the internal sheath of the hair root or the cortex) and constitutes the second most prevalent skin neoplasm in children. These lesions are typically slow-growing, firm, nodules located on the head, neck, trunk, and extremities (in decreasing order of frequency). Due to the rarity, combined with their varied clinical presentations, pilomatrixomas are often misdiagnosed.

In 2018, after law enforcement announced it had used a technique called forensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG) to identify the Golden State Killer, we conducted a U.S. general population survey and found most respondents supported using FIGG to solve violent crimes.

Background: Radix Bupleuri (RB) and acetaminophen (APAP) are two popular medications having potential hepatotoxicity and substantial risks of irrational co-administration and excessive use, posing an overlooked danger of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Autophagy is a protective mechanism against APAP-induced DILI, yet, saikosaponin d (SSd) in RB has been characterized to regulate autophagy, although the current findings are controversial.

Purpose: We aim to elucidate whether SSd promoted APAP-induced liver injury by regulating autophagy.

Thanks to the fast development of sequencing techniques and bioinformatics tools, sequencing the genome of an insect species for specific research purposes has become an increasingly popular practice. Insect genomes not only provide sets of gene sequences but also represent a change in focus from reductionism to systemic biology in the field of entomology. Using insect genomes, researchers are able to identify and study the functions of all members of a gene family, pathway, or gene network associated with a trait of interest.
