Hepatocyte OTUD1 promotes hepatic stellate cell activation and liver fibrosis by stabilizing HSP90β
Crosstalk between parenchymal and nonparenchymal cells of the liver mediates the activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Activated HSCs transform into myofibroblasts and produce the extracellular matrix (ECM), and massive ECM accumulation can affect liver function and eventu...

U-Shaped Association Between Left Ventricular Dimension and Mortality in Patients With Heart Failure
Importance Left ventricular structural assessment is fundamental in heart failure (HF). However, the independent prognostic value of left ventricular size beyond its association with ejection fraction remains poorly defined in real-world, large-scale populations. Objective To inv...
