MASH: the nexus of metabolism, inflammation and fibrosis
This review by Gregory R. Steinberg @DrGregSteinberg & colleagues @McMasterU is part of JCI’s ongoing series, Evolving Insights into #MASLD and MASH Pathogenesis and Treatment with series editor Scott Friedman: jci.org/articles/view/…

Targeting hepatocyte and tumour lipid metabolism through ACLY inhibition promotes B-cell infiltration/aggregation via CXCL13, resulting in reduced tumour burden in MASH-HCC mouse models nature.com/articles/s4158…
English
“This is one of the first studies to show that targeting metabolism in tumours can enable the immune system to kill liver cancer cells, and opens the door to more effective prevention and treatment strategies for this deadly disease,” @DrGregSteinberg

Another great addition to our March 6 seminar is Maya Bozzo-Rey – MSc (c) in @SergiClotet lab. Her presentation will explore kidney metabolism, epigenetics & sex differences in DKD, with a focus on metabolic responses to high glucose & epigenetic modifications.
English
Also presenting on March 6 is Meghan Conn – 2nd year MSc (c) in the @SchertzerLab. @MeghanConn01's presentation will describe the metabolic changes that occur during repeated intermittent fasting(IF) & how features of obesity & early T2D affect the metabolic response to IF

Join us on March 6 for the next MODR Seminar, featuring #MODRtrainee Ann Kuganathan - 4th-year PhD(c) in the Krepninsky lab. @annswathyk will share her research on how follistatin improves vascular health & PVAT function in hypertension.
