Background: Electrographic flow (EGF) mapping allows for the visualization of global atrial wavefront propagations. One mechanism of initiation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF) is stimulation from EGF-identified focal sources that serve as driver sites of fibrillatory conduction. Electrographic flow consistency (EGFC) further quantifies the concordance of observed wavefront patterns, indicating that a healthier substrate shows more organized wavefront propagation and higher EGFC.

GZMK-expressing CD8 T cells promote recurrent airway inflammatory diseases.

Nature

January 2025

Laboratory of Dynamic Immunobiology, Institute for Immunology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

Inflammatory diseases are often chronic and recurrent, and current treatments do not typically remove underlying disease drivers. T cells participate in a wide range of inflammatory diseases such as psoriasis, Crohn's disease, oesophagitis and multiple sclerosis, and clonally expanded antigen-specific T cells may contribute to disease chronicity and recurrence, in part by forming persistent pathogenic memory. Chronic rhinosinusitis and asthma are inflammatory airway diseases that often present as comorbidities.

Physiological accumulation of lipid droplets in newborn liver during breastfeeding is driven by TLR4 ligands.

J Lipid Res

January 2025

Center for Gastrointestinal Biology, Departamento de Morfologia, Instituto de Ciências Biológicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Electronic address:

Background: The liver plays a central role in fat storage, but little is known about physiological fat accumulation during early development. Here we investigated a transient surge in hepatic lipid droplets observed in newborn mice immediately after birth.

Methods: We developed a novel model to quantify liver fat content without tissue processing.

Voltage-gated Na+ (Nav) channels are the primary determinants of the action potential in excitable cells. Nav channels rely on a wide and diverse array of intracellular protein-protein interactions (PPIs) to achieve their full function. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 β (GSK3β) has been previously identified as a modulator of Nav1.

Article Synopsis
  • High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) levels rise and undergo post-translational modifications (PTMs) with alcohol consumption, potentially influencing the development of alcohol-associated liver disease (AALD).
  • Researchers used a specific model of liver injury caused by alcohol to explore how manipulating HMGB1's expression and modifications in liver cells and immune cells impacts AALD.
  • Their findings show that different forms of HMGB1 have contrasting effects: oxidized HMGB1 (O) worsens liver injury while acetylated HMGB1 (Ac) can protect against these harmful effects, highlighting the importance of targeting O HMGB1 in treating AALD.
