Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a manifestation of systemic metabolic disease defined by abnormal lipid metabolism and causes liver disease. Inflammation driven by immune cells has been linked to liver damage, fibrosis, and the progression of MASH. Here, single-cell transcriptome analysis disclosed the increasing hepatic infiltration of CD8 T cells in a murine methionine- and choline-deficient (MCD) diet-induced MASH model.

In the process of urbanization, high-intensity human activities have seriously disturbed the river networks, especially in the core urban areas of large cities. At present, a series of urban water environmental problems, such as urban waterlogging and non-point pollution, caused by damage to the river network structure and the decrease in surface permeability conditions in high-density urban areas have received widespread attention. In this study, the effects of the river network structure and urbanization on urban waterlogging were analyzed in the Pudong New Area by using the data of waterlogging sites on the Amap.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the IOP-lowering effects of the ITRI-E-212, a new Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor. ITRI-E-212 improved fluid outflow through the trabecular meshwork and reduced IOP with transient and mild conjunctival hyperemia. ITRI-E-212 can potentially be developed into new antiglaucoma agents.
