Emerging roles of MRG15 in liver metabolic diseases
Trends Mol Med. 2024 Mar 22:S1471-4914(24)00057-1. doi: 10.1016/j.molmed.2024.03.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMORF4 (mortality factor on chromosome 4)-related gene 15 (MRG15) is a chromodomain protein that exists in various multiprotein complexes involved in transcription, DNA repair, and development. Here we summarize the recent advances involving MRG15 in modulating liver metabolism, both through its chromatin-binding capability and independently of it, highlighting MRG15 as a potential therapeutic target for liver metabolic diseases.PMID:38521716 | DOI:10.1016/j.molmed.2024.03.002 (Source: Trends in Molecular Medicine)

New media facilitate adolescents' body dissatisfaction and eating disorders in Mainland China
Trends Mol Med. 2024 Mar 22:S1471-4914(24)00036-4. doi: 10.1016/j.molmed.2024.02.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNew media play a significant role in adolescents' body dissatisfaction and eating disorders in Mainland China, through shaping social standards, peers, and family dynamics. How to mitigate their adverse effects on adolescents, reduce body dissatisfaction, and prevent eating disorders is a significant social issue that demands serious consideration.PMID:38519349 | DOI:10.1016/j.molmed.2024.02.011 (Source: Trends in Molecular Medicine)

Amphiphysin-2 (BIN1) functions and defects in cardiac and skeletal muscle
Trends Mol Med. 2024 Mar 20:S1471-4914(24)00030-3. doi: 10.1016/j.molmed.2024.02.005. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAmphiphysin-2 is a ubiquitously expressed protein also known as bridging integrator 1 (BIN1), playing a critical role in membrane remodeling, trafficking, and cytoskeleton dynamics in a wide range of tissues. Mutations in the gene encoding BIN1 cause centronuclear myopathies (CNM), and recent evidence has implicated BIN1 in heart failure, underlining its crucial role in both skeletal and cardiac muscle. Furthermore, altered expression of BIN1 is linked to an increased risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease an...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEating disorders (EDs) are complex phenomena that are partly influenced by sociocultural factors. The thin body ideal of Western civilization, disseminated by mass media and reinforced by the fashion industry, plays a significant role.

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEating disorders (EDs) are common mental health conditions that carry exceedingly high morbidity and mortality rates. Evidence-based treatment options include a range of psychotherapies and some, mainly adjunctive, pharmacological interventions. However, around 20-30% of people fail to respond to the best available treatments and develop a persistent treatment-refractory illness. Novel treatments for these disorders are emerging, but their efficacy and clinical relevance need further investigation. In this re...
