Background/purpose: The efficacy of riboflavin-ultraviolet-A (RF-UVA) treatment in crosslinking collagen and improving dentin bonding has been proven. However, biodegradation of the hybrid layer may compromise the bonding. The purpose of this study was to evaluate different RF-UVA treatments regarding their ability to preserve dentin bonding from enzymatic digestion.

Type 2 diabetes: a sacrifice program handling energy surplus.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is closely associated with obesity, while interactions between the two diseases remain to be fully elucidated. To this point, we offer this perspective to introduce a set of new insights into the interpretation of T2DM spanning the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment approaches. These include a definition of T2DM as an energy surplus-induced diabetes characterized by the gradual decline of β cell insulin secretion function, which ultimately aims to prevent the onset of severe obesity through mechanisms of weight loss.

Balloon expandable coronary stenting has revolutionized the field of interventional cardiology as a potential, minimally invasive modality for treating coronary artery disease. Even though stenting is successful compared to angioplasty (that leaves no stent in place), still there are many associated clinical complications. Bare metal stents are associated with in-stent restenosis caused mostly by neointimal hyperplasia, whereas success of drug-eluting stents comes at the expense of late-stent thrombosis and neoatherosclerosis.

Decoding liver fibrogenesis with single-cell technologies.

Liver fibrogenesis is a highly dynamic and complex process that drives the progression of chronic liver disease toward liver failure and end-stage liver diseases. Despite decades of intense studies, the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying liver fibrogenesis remain elusive, and no approved therapies to treat liver fibrosis are currently available. The rapid development of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies allows the characterization of cellular alterations under healthy and diseased conditions at an unprecedented resolution.

Glucokinase and glucokinase activator.

Life Metab

October 2023

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai 200032, China.

Glucokinase (GK) plays a pivotal role in glucose homeostasis as the glucose sensor in the pancreas and liver. Loss of function of GK results in hyperglycemia, and gain of function causes congenital hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. We speculate that the progressive loss of GK at both messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels in the islets and liver would be the key mechanism for Type 2 diabetes (T2D) pathogenesis.
