Cellular Aging Tied to Persistent Liver Stiffness After HCV Eradication

1 week ago | physiciansweekly.com | Julia Ernst

Cellular aging may explain persistent liver stiffness after HCV eradication, with shorter telomeres linked to poorer hepatic recovery despite viral clearance. Researchers have implicated cellular aging as a contributing factor to the absence of liver regeneration following the eradication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in some patients, according to results published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases.

A novel, portable assay can deliver TB diagnoses in under an hour at low cost using samples of blood, saliva, or sputum, according to a recent study. Researchers have engineered a portable “lab‑in‑tube” (LIT) assay that detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) DNA directly from blood, saliva, or sputum in less than 60 minutes at a relatively low cost, according to a study published in Science Translational Medicine. “Over 90% of TB [tuberculosis] cases occur in low- and middle-income countries.
How Mental Health & SUD Bias Impact ED Physical Care
