The Role of Metabolic Lipases in the Pathogenesis and Management of Liver Disease

Matteo Tardelli, Francesca Virginia Bruschi, Michael Trauner – 1 April 2020 – Intracellular lipolysis is an enzymatic pathway responsible for the catabolism of triglycerides (TGs) that is complemented by lipophagy as the autophagic breakdown of lipid droplets. The hydrolytic cleavage of TGs generates free fatty acids (FFAs), which can serve as energy substrates, precursors for lipid synthesis, and mediators in cell signaling.

Hepatitis B Virus RNA Profiles in Liver Biopsies by Digital Polymerase Chain Reaction

Kasthuri Prakash, Simon B. Larsson, Gustaf E. Rydell, Maria E. Andersson, Johan Ringlander, Gunnar Norkrans, Heléne Norder, Magnus Lindh – 29 March 2020 – Replication of hepatitis B virus (HBV) originates from covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and involves reverse transcription of pregenomic RNA (pgRNA), which is also called core RNA and encodes the capsid protein. The RNA coding for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the envelope of viral or subviral particles is produced from cccDNA or from HBV DNA integrated into the host genome.
