Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis: The Role of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors

The authors summarize and discuss the current literature on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as the liver manifestation of the systemic metabolic syndrome and focuses on the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the pathomechanisms as well as in the potential targeting of disease.

Genome-Wide Gene Expression Analyses of BRCA1– and BRCA2-Associated Breast and Ovarian Tumors

To determine if gene expression analysis has been a successful approach for variant classification, the authors describe the design and comparability of 23 published gene expression studies that have profiled cells from BRCA1– and BRCA2 pathogenic variant carriers.

The Structural Basis of Herpesvirus Entry

Scientists discuss recent insights into herpesvirus entry by analysing the structures of entry glycoproteins, including the diverse receptor-binding glycoproteins, EBV glycoprotein 42 and HCMV gH–gL–gO trimer and gH–gL–UL128–UL130–UL131A pentamer.

Human Stem Cell-Derived Oligodendrocytes: From Humanized Animal Models to Cell Therapy in Myelin Diseases

The authors discuss the anatomical and functional benefit of grafted iPSC-progenitors over their brain counterparts, their use in disease modeling and the missing gaps that still prevent to study their biology in the most integrated way, and to translate iPSC-stem cell based therapy to the clinic.
