Global overview of sea turtle fibropapillomatosis tumors: a survey of expert opinions and trends.

This study surveys global experts on sea turtle fibropapillomatosis to assess disease trends, treatment approaches, and research needs.

Hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 13 (Hsd17b13) knockdown attenuates liver steatosis in high-fat diet obese mice

This study shows that knocking down Hsd17b13 in obese mice reduces liver steatosis and improves liver health markers, suggesting HSD17B13 as a therapeutic target for MASLD.

Pathology of natural infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H5N1) clade 2.3.4.4b in wild terrestrial mammals in the United States in 2022

The paper reports the first cases of H5N1 avian influenza in wild mammals in the US, showing neurological symptoms and lesions linked to bird-to-mammal spillover.

Label-free digital holotomography reveals ibuprofen-induced morphological changes to red blood cells

This paper uses digital holotomography to monitor ibuprofen-induced morphological changes in red blood cells, showing dose-dependent effects and confirming structural disruption at high concentrations.

Fenretinide inhibits obesity and fatty liver disease but induces Smpd3 to increase serum ceramides and worsen atherosclerosis in LDLR-/- mice.

This study shows that fenretinide reduces obesity and fatty liver but increases ceramides via Smpd3, worsening atherosclerosis in LDLR-/- mice.

Lipid metabolism links nutrient-exercise timing to insulin sensitivity in men classified as overweight or obese.

This study shows that exercising before nutrient intake increases lipid utilization and improves insulin sensitivity in overweight or obese men over 6 weeks.

Candidate cancer driver mutations in super-enhancers and long-range chromatin interaction networks

The paper identifies 41 frequently mutated regulatory elements in cancer genomes, enriched in non-coding mutations and linked to gene expression control through chromatin interactions.
