Mendelian Randomization Unveils a Causal Relationship Between Inflammation, Metabolism, and Systemic Sclerosis

This study uses Mendelian randomization to identify causal relationships between inflammation, metabolism, and systemic sclerosis, finding several risk and protective factors.

Multi-omic network analysis identified betacellulin as a novel target of omega-3 fatty acid attenuation of western diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.

The paper identifies betacellulin as a target of omega-3 fatty acids in reducing NASH by suppressing inflammation and fibrosis through mechanisms involving hepatic stellate cells and macrophages.

Reversing gut microbiome-driven adipose tissue inflammation alleviates metabolic syndrome

This study shows that TXN reduces pro-inflammatory gut microbes and alleviates adipose tissue inflammation, improving metabolic syndrome in mice.
