Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase couples inflammation and epigenetic remodelling to hepatic fibrosis

This study identifies NNMT as a regulator linking inflammation to epigenetic changes in liver fibrosis, showing its role in cytokine-induced transcriptional and fibrotic responses.

Global molecular landscape of early MASLD progression in obesity

This study identifies molecular changes in early MASLD progression in obesity through transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses, revealing distinct metabolic pathways and novel gene targets for liver fibrosis.

HypoxamicroRNA-210 protects against hepatic steatosis by inhibiting CIDEC expression

This study identifies miR-210 as a protective factor against hepatic steatosis by inhibiting CIDEC expression in MASLD.

Continuity and admixture in the last five millennia of Levantine history from ancient Canaanite and present-day Lebanese genome sequences

This study analyzes ancient and modern genomes from the Levant to trace genetic continuity and admixture over five millennia, finding Canaanite-related ancestry and later Eurasian influences.
