Serotonin Deficiency is Associated with Delayed Gastric Emptying

Gastrointestinal (GI) motility is regulated by serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), which is primarily produced by enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the GI tract. However, the precise roles of EC cell-derived 5-HT in regulating gastric motility remain a… Continue reading

Gut microbiota perturbation in IgA deficiency is influenced by IgA-autoantibody status

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) exerts its primary function at mucosal surfaces where it binds microbial antigens to regulate bacterial growth and epithelial attachment. One-third of individuals with IgA deficiency (IgAD) suffer from recurrent mucosal infection… Continue reading

Squalene epoxidase induces nonalcoholic steatohepatitis via binding to carbonic anhydrase 3 and is a therapeutic target

Squalene epoxidase (SQLE) is the rate-limiting enzyme for cholesterol biosynthesis. We elucidated the functional significance, molecular mechanisms and clinical impact of SQLE in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Continue reading
