Purpose Of Review: It has been well published that a low protein diet (0.6-0.8 g/kg/day) is optimal for nutritional management of chronic kidney disease and with care be used without inducing protein malnutrition.
Recent Findings: Though care with this approach must be demonstrated in patients with end-stage renal disease and with prominent protein energy wasting, another category of renal patient exists for whom dietary recommendations need more exploration. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes consortium, actually identifies renal disease as those patients with reduced filtration and those with excessive proteinuria excretion. Proteinuria, indeed, has proven to be a serious marker predisposing renal patients to atherosclerotic heart disease, venous thromboembolism, cerebrovascular accidents, and overall mortality. We discuss what is known about nutritional strategies to curb proteinuria and control inflammation in the setting of glomerulonephritis.
Summary: While this area of management of a set of conditions maybe nascent, it has the potential to provide incredible breakthroughs in nutritional management of auto immune diseases of the kidney specifically and the body writ large.

Background: Hederagenin (HG), derived from ivy seeds, is known to offer protection against Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the specific molecular pathways through which it counters ferroptosis-induced neurotoxicity are not fully elucidated. This investigation seeks to delineate the processes by which HG mitigates neurotoxic effects in HT22 cells subjected to glutamate (Glu)-induced ferroptosis.

Durian (Durio zibethinus Murr.) is a seasonal fruit with a short harvesting period, requiring postharvest processing such as cutting, peeling, freeze-drying, cooking, and frying to enhance its shelf life and nutritional quality. In this study, fresh Monthong durian (MTD), MTD Sticks, MTD Cake, and MTD Chips were analyzed for polyphenols, phenolic acids, tannins, flavonoids and thermal stability.

Aims And Objectives: This study aimed to explore the relationship between HERC6- associated immune response and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and to screen drug candidates for novel treatments.
Materials And Methods: Mendelian Randomization (MR) was performed to test the relationship between a genetically predicted increase in HERC6 expression and the development of NAFLD. A single-cell RNA-seq profile of liver tissue with histological characteristics (GSE168933) was obtained.

Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms occur frequently in pregnant women, resulting in poor quality of life. These patients frequently require co-management with the obstetrician and a physician/GI specialist. The causation is complex and multifactorial.

Background: Immunotherapy is beneficial for some colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, but immunosuppressive networks limit its effectiveness. Cancer-associatedfibroblasts (CAFs) are significant in immune escape and resistance toimmunotherapy, emphasizing the urgent need for new treatment strategies.
Methods: Flow cytometric, Western blotting, proteomics analysis, analysis of public database data, genetically modified cell line models, T cell coculture, crystal violetstaining, ELISA, metabonomic and clinical tumour samples were conducted to assess the role of EDEM3 in immune escape and itsmolecular mechanisms.
