Inhibition of p53 sulfoconjugation prevents oxidative hepatotoxicity and acute liver failure
Sulfoconjugation of small molecules or protein peptides is a key mechanism to ensure biochemical and functional homeostasis in mammals. The PAPS synthase 2 (PAPSS2) is the primary enzyme to synthesize the universal sulfonate donor 3′-phosphoadenosine 5… Continue reading
The maze of systemic therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma: did we find the compass?
Surveillance imaging in individuals at high-risk for pancreatic cancer: Not a ceiling, but rather a floor upon which to build

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
