This review synthesizes evidence on preS1 antigen and anti-preS1 IgG dynamics in chronic hepatitis B, highlighting their correlations with viral replication, liver inflammation, and functional cure, and elucidates the neutralising potential
This study demonstrates that nearly half of islet secretory function is preserved following total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT), independent of preoperative glycaemic status or prior pancreatic surgery. Continuous gl
A 2026 RCT assessed telehealth stepped alcohol treatment in chronic liver disease patients, finding significant reductions in weekly alcohol consumption but no difference in achieving moderate drinking levels compared to usual care.
NEK9 upregulation in hepatocellular carcinoma promotes immune evasion by enhancing PD-L1 expression and recruiting suppressive myeloid cells. Novel NEK9 inhibitors synergize with PD-L1 blockade, remodeling the tumor microenvironment and imp
Rare variants in the BIRC3 gene cause defective regulation of RIPK1 signaling, leading to increased intestinal epithelial cell death and monogenic Crohn’s disease. Targeting RIPK1 offers a promising therapeutic strategy.
Fecal calprotectin offers a non-invasive, dynamic biomarker to predict, diagnose, and monitor GI-GVHD post-allo-HSCT, correlating with endoscopic severity and treatment response, but requires integrated clinical interpretation due to limite
A comprehensive national study shows both normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) and normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) significantly improve graft survival in DCD liver transplantation, supporting their adoption as complementary standards
This article explores a novel AI framework that identifies distinct collagen deposition patterns in MASLD, offering improved molecular specificity and prognostic value beyond traditional fibrosis assessments.
Pancreatic fibrosis activates Schwann cells via nuclear mechanosensing, promoting a protumorigenic environment that enhances pancreatic cancer progression, offering novel microenvironment-targeted therapeutic insights.
A multicenter RCT shows proactive home fecal calprotectin monitoring without protocolized treatment escalation does not reduce symptomatic flares in ulcerative colitis remission. More research is needed to optimize biomarker-guided manageme
MSI-H/dMMR gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma showed high response rates to immune checkpoint inhibitors, including durable complete responses in locoregional disease that may support carefully selected nonoperative management.
This single-center cohort found high and durable checkpoint inhibitor responses in dMMR/MSI-H gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, including complete responses in locoregional disease that may support carefully selected nonoperative management.
In adults with suspected MASH, 200 IU/day vitamin E lowered ALT as effectively as 400 IU/day and 800 IU/day over 24 weeks, with no short-term safety signal, supporting lower-dose use if vitamin E is chosen.
Single-cell profiling of colorectal cancer lymph nodes revealed an SPP1–CD44–NF-κB1 pathway that promotes CD137+ regulatory T-cell maturation and may be therapeutically targetable.
A validation study suggests current liver fibrosis screening criteria are too broad. A refined risk-based approach reduced eligibility from 60–76% to 10–22% of adults while improving the yield of elevated liver stiffness and predicting futu
A large 26-country survey found that post-infection disorders of gut-brain interaction account for 10.5% of DGBI cases and are linked to younger age, male sex, urban living, anxiety, and greater somatic symptom burden.
A 2026 Gastroenterology study links PRDM9 deficiency to ectopic DNA breaks, mosaic promoter deletions, and impaired enteric neuronal differentiation in sporadic Hirschsprung disease, while introducing a blood-based molecular score that impr
Lateral relaxing diaphragmatic incisions may help reduce tension during difficult hiatal hernia repairs, improving symptom control in redo and giant hernia cases, though long-term recurrence data are still needed.
A phase 3 trial found that adding intraperitoneal paclitaxel to intravenous paclitaxel plus S-1 improved survival in gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis without increasing severe toxicity.
A major global study shows that some people develop lasting gut-brain disorders after acute gastroenteritis, linking infections to chronic digestive and psychological symptoms.
