Regulating cell acidity could transform autoimmune disease treatments

What if treating autoimmune diseases was as simple as regulating the acidity levels of parts of patients' cells? Genetic screening may have unlocked a path for treating the severe inflammation associated with many immune diseases by regulating one protein's role in helping another protein control cell acidity, according to new research published in Cell by a team from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Study reveals the role of transcription factors as therapeutic gateways in MAFLD

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has become a growing global health concern, affecting millions worldwide. This complex liver disorder ranges from simple steatosis to more severe forms, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), which may progress to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer.
