Researchers focus on mechanisms involved in development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

One of the lines of research of the UPV/EHU's Lipids & Liver group, which focusses on the mechanisms involved in the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is achieving significant advances in a range of aspects; these include the identification of proteins that alter the metabolic pathways in the development and progression of liver disease, and even cancer, and the seeking of targets to enable the disease to be reversed.

Fourth-generation retinoid may have improved efficacy and safety profile to treat acne

Topical retinoids, which target retinoic acid receptors, are commonly used to treat acne. New research published in theBritish Journal of Dermatologyreveals that trifarotene, a fourth-generation retinoid with potent and selective activity against only one particular retinoic acid receptor, may have an improved efficacy and safety profile compared with less selective retinoids.

Engineers develop new method to measure and reconstruct interstitial fluid flow in the brain

Interstitial fluid transports nutrients and removes waste between the organs and tissues in our body. In the brain, interstitial fluid is thought to be composed of circulating cerebrospinal fluid, cellular waste and blood plasma, and past research has shown a link between interstitial fluid flow and an increased invasion rate of glioblastoma, or brain tumor, cells.

New Rekovelle analysis shows AMH is robust predictor of ovarian response to fertility treatment

Ferring Pharmaceuticals announced today a new analysis of data from the Phase 3 ESTHER-1 trial showing that natural variations in anti-Müllerian hormone levels during and between a woman's menstrual cycle have no clinically relevant impact on ovarian response when using AMH to dose Rekovelle for ovarian stimulation.

Artificial ovaries could soon be a reality

Ovaries are female reproductive organs that are responsible for the production of ova or eggs. These are necessary for normal fertilization and development of the fetus. Fertility of a woman can be jeopardized when the ovaries do not function normally. Danish researchers have now successfully engineered artificial ovaries that could help millions of women with infertility related to ovarian disease and cancer therapy.
