Decoding the significance of subnormal liver enzyme activity

Liver diseases are commonly diagnosed using serum enzyme assays, particularly for aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), and 5'-nucleotidase (5'-NT).

Enhancing viral therapy for resistant cancers with a metabolite-drug

When a cancer cell doesn't respond to traditional therapies, doctors may turn to a sort of viral biological warfare, by deploying 'troops' in the form of viral agents that are specifically engineered to target and eliminate cancer cells.

New study casts doubt on lipid-lowering strategies for IBD prevention

A new study has illuminated the connection between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and lipid profile. IBD is a chronic condition that causes inflammation in the intestines. Abnormal lipid factor levels such as cholesterol in IBD patients have been observed in previous studies, but whether this association is causal remained unclear.

Multi-regional sampling uncovers hidden complexity in liver cancer

A study led by clinician-scientists and scientists from the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) and A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) and funded by the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF) has discovered unexpected molecular heterogeneity even within the same liver tumors. More than 40% of HCC harbors more than one molecular subtype within the same tumor and in these, the clinical outcomes for the patients are best predicted by the most aggressive subtype.
