Standardising the Histological Assessment of Late Post-Transplant Biopsies from Pediatric Liver Allograft Recipients

[Liver Transplantation] Whole slide digital images from 31 biopsies obtained ≥ 4 years post-transplant to determine eligibility for an immunosuppression withdrawal trial were selected to illustrate a range of typical histopathological findings seen in children with clinically stable grafts, including those associated with alloantibodies.

TRIM31 Confers Protection against Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis by Deactivating MAP3K7

[Hepatology] Scientists identified the RING-type E3 ubiquitin transferase-tripartite motif-containing protein 31, a member of E3 ubiquitin ligases family, as a novel and efficient endogenous inhibitor of transforming growth factor-beta-activated kinase 1.

Magnetic Hydrogel for Cartilage Tissue Regeneration as Well as a Review on Advantages and Disadvantages of Different Cartilage Repair Strategies

[Biomed Research International] The authors illustrated various hydrogels used for cartilage regeneration by highlighting the magnetic hydrogels.

lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 Promotes EMT, Angiogenesis, and Stemness of Pituitary Adenoma by Upregulation of RAB11A

[Journal of Oncology] Scientists investigated the effect and mechanism of long noncoding RNA KCNQ1OT1 on pituitary adenoma. The KCNQ1OT1 expression in invasive and noninvasive PA tissues was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
