AbstractThis study identifies TRIM2 as an interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) regulated by both type I and type II interferons. Contrary to the typical antiviral role of most ISGs, TRIM2 significantly enhances influenza A virus (IAV) replication both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, TRIM2 functions as a negative regulator of the MDA5-mediated antiviral signaling pathway, contributing to the suppression of IFN-β production in part through promoting K48-linked polyubiquitination of MDA5. It directly interacts with MDA5 via its CC and Fn domains, promoting K48-linked polyubiquitination of MDA5 at Lysine 538, which leads to its proteasomal degradation and subsequent suppression of IFN-β production. Furthermore, TRIM2 interacts with and degrades STAT2 via K48-linked ubiquitination, further suppressing interferon signaling.

Doctors' prescribing habits are heavily influenced by payments, gifts, and free meals from pharmaceutical companies, leading to more expensive, less appropriate and more drugs being prescribed, a new Cochrane review finds. This can seriously harm both individual patients and health systems. Pharmaceutical companies use a variety of strategies to market and promote their drugs. This can include one-on-one visits by sales reps to doctors' offices and hospitals, gifts and payments including for example paid meals, travel costs to conferences, entertainment, consulting fees, honoraria for participation in advisory boards, and advertising.

Fatty liver disease is actually five different conditions, scientists discover - Science Daily
A common liver disease affecting nearly 30% of adults worldwide is far more complex than previously understood. Researchers at Mayo Clinic have identified five biologically distinct forms of the condition, each associated with different risks of serious health complications, including heart disease, liver failure, cancer, and the need for a liver transplant. The findings, published in Nature Communications, come from a collaboration between Mayo Clinic and Virginia Tech. Scientists discovered that metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, or MASLD, can develop through several different biological pathways. Some are closely connected to obesity and diabetes, while others appear to be driven by inherited genetic differences.
