MNX1-HNF1B axis is indispensable for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm lineages

Chromatin architecture governs cell lineages by regulating the specific gene expression; however, its role in the diversity of cancer development remains unknown. Among pancreatic cancers, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and intraductal papilla… Continue reading

Molecular signature predictive of long-term liver fibrosis progression to inform anti-fibrotic drug development

There is a major unmet need to assess the prognostic impact of anti-fibrotics in clinical trials due to the slow rate of liver fibrosis progression. We aimed to develop a surrogate biomarker to predict future fibrosis progression. Continue reading

Inadequate Rectal Pressure and Insufficient Relaxation and Abdominopelvic Coordination in Defecatory Disorders

Diagnostic tests for defecatory disorders (DDs) asynchronously measure anorectal pressures and evacuation and show limited agreement; thus, abdominopelvic-rectoanal coordination in normal defecation and DDs is poorly characterized. We aimed to investig… Continue reading
