N-Acetylneuraminic Acid Links Immune Exhaustion and Accelerated Memory Deficit in Diet-Induced Obese Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Model
In an obese Alzheimer’s disease mouse model, hippocampal cells displayed only minor diet-related transcriptional changes, whereas the splenic immune landscape exhibited aging-like CD4+ T-cell deregulation.
[89bio, Inc.] 89bio, Inc. announced positive topline data from the Phase IIb ENLIVEN trial evaluating treatment with pegozafermin in patients with NASH. In the study, both the 44mg Q2W and 30mg QW doses met, with high statistical significance.
[Communications Biology] The expression of myocardial infarction-associated transcript (MIAT) was up-regulated during liver fibrosis. Silencing MIAT led to the suppression of hepatic stellate cell proliferation and collagen expression.
[EMBO Molecular Medicine] WD-repeat 6 (WDR6) deficiency in hepa1-6 cells drastically inhibited the growth and lung metastasis of orthotopically implanted tumors in immune-competent C57BL/6J mice.
