Caveolin-1, Cholesterol Homeostasis, and MASLD
2026-09-15
The reference study identifies caveolin-1 (CAV1) as a regulator of hepatic cholesterol homeostasis whose loss aggravates endoplasmic reticulum stress and pyroptosis during metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Its combination of CAV1-deficient mice, liver transcriptomics, human samples, and in vitro validation connects the FXR/NR1H4–ABCG5/ABCG8 axis with disease progression and provides a mechanistic framework for studying cholesterol-driven liver injury.

Carbapenemase Gene Spread in Enterobacter cloacae
2026-09-11
Chen et al. integrated gene localization, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, plasmid conjugation, mobile-element profiling, and ERIC-PCR to examine carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter cloacae across eight Guangdong teaching hospitals. The study identifies plasmid-associated blaNDM-1 as a major dissemination risk and shows why resistance surveillance must distinguish clonal spread from horizontal gene transfer.
