Cell Host Microbe

Biomedical Research Centre, Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia, Norwich Research Park, Norwich, UK; Center of Excellence for Bionanoscience Research, King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Published: January 2023

A new study in this issue of Cell Host & Microbe from Huang et al. provides important insights into the global epidemiology of human-infectious Cryptosporidium and mechanisms leading to the rapid emergence and rise to dominance of new, possibly more virulent, parasite strains.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders affecting approximately 50 million people worldwide. It impacts people of all genders and ages, but evidence suggests a higher incidence rate in children and the elderly. Given that childhood epilepsy has the risk of causing developmental epileptic encephalopathy, which is associated with intellectual, behavioral, and/or motor disabilities, proper assessment of children with new-onset epilepsy at an early stage is essential to prevent threats affecting neurodevelopmental processes.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) involves abnormal fat accumulation in the liver, mainly as triglycerides. It ranges from steatosis to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can lead to inflammation, cellular damage, liver fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial for regulating gene expression across various conditions.

Introduction: LDL-cholesterol greater than 190 mg/dL indicates severe hypercholesterolemia (HS) of monogenic and/or polygenic origin. Genetic risk scores (GRS) evaluate potential polygenic causes.

Objective: we applied a GRS of 6-SNP (GRS-6) in HS individuals.

Objective: Recently, several non-conventional variants of IBD-associated dysplasia have been described; however, their prevalence in Central-Eastern Europe is unknown. We aimed to perform a retrospective pilot study by re-evaluating several IBD-associated adenocarcinoma cases to survey the incidence of adjacent non-conventional dysplasia and validate that recent North American findings may apply to a European population.

Methods: Retrospectively, 28 randomly chosen cases of IBD-associated adenocarcinomas diagnosed between 2010 and 2022 were re-evaluated.
