Mashup Score: 23Metabolic Dysfunction and Alcohol-related Liver Disease (MetALD): Position statement by an expert panel on alcohol-related liver disease - 7 month(s) ago
This position statement explores the intricate relationship between alcohol intake and metabolic dysfunction in the context of the 2023 nomenclature for steatotic liver disease (SLD). Recent and lifetime alcohol use should be accurately assessed in all patients with SLD to facilitate classification of alcohol use in grams of alcohol per week. Alcohol biomarkers (i.e., phosphatidylethanol), use of validated questionnaires (i.e. AUDIT-C), and collateral information from friends and relatives could help facilitate differentiation between alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) per se and liver disease with both metabolic and alcohol-related components (MetALD).

Mashup Score: 20Fecal microbial load is a major determinant of gut microbiome variation and a confounder for disease associations - 7 month(s) ago
A machine-learning approach enables the quantification of microbial load (microbial cells per gram) in fecal samples based on the relative microbiome profile. The predicted microbial load emerged as a major determinant of microbiome variation, confounding various disease-microbe associations across more than 34,000 global metagenomes.

Mashup Score: 4A blood-based biomarker panel for non-invasive diagnosis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis - 8 month(s) ago
Zhang et al. developed a robust blood-based biomarker panel for the non-invasive diagnosis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) among patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The biomarker panel demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy with three independent cohort validations in Asia and America, thus highlighting its potential clinical utility in non-invasive diagnosis of MASH in MASLD patients.

Mashup Score: 4Structure-guided discovery of bile acid derivatives for treating liver diseases without causing itch - 8 month(s) ago
Bile acids (BAs) are 3-sulfonated to improve their potency to activate MRGPRX4 (hX4), the G-protein-coupled receptor for cholestatic itch. The cryo-EM structure of hX4 binding with a bile acid-derived agonist highlights the importance of the 3-hydroxyl group in BAs to activate hX4 and helps develop the lead compound, C7, as a promising candidate for treating liver diseases without the unwanted side effect of itch.
