Psychological distress is prevalent and interdependent among patients with decompensated cirrhosis and their caregivers, confirming cirrhosis as a SHARED EMOTIONAL CONTAGION within dyads - our new study published in @AmJGastro #palliativehepatology

In this mixed-methods study of 372 transplant-ineligible patients with cirrhosis w/ severe AKI (ATN or HRS), we found that ~1 in 6 of those who received RRT were alive in 6 months - work led by @mclean_diaz in @DDS_Journal #palliativehepatology #ACLF

Big month for #MASLD trials - as we discuss costs of medications, nice to see the potential of low-cost alternatives. Congratulations to my favorite @traceyg_md (proud of you friend) and @WilechanskyMD @KathleenCoreyMD @DrLoomba @raychungmd @AndyChanMD @MGH_GI #livertwitter #mash

Excited to share our lab’s new story online in @Cell_Metabolism today!

We show hepatic reductive stress (elevated NADH/NAD+) activates the transcription factor ChREBP in the liver. We think this helps explain longstanding observed metabolic phenotypes with alcohol use, obesity, and a common variant in GCKR, like elevated lipids and FGF21 levels. We had a big assist with the new EcSTH tool from @VFCracan.

Read it here: https://t.co/m4Vtw39qBZ

Work was led by postdocs @charand79475017 and Byungchang Jin in our lab, and we’re grateful for support from @KathleenCoreyMD and mentorship from Alan Mullen (@UMass_medicine) and @vamsimootha

Thanks to @AASLDFoundation, @NIDDKgov, @BWFUND, @MGH_GI, @MGHMedicine for helping fund this.

If you like this work, come join our lab! Boston is a great place to live and do science, and we have a lot of exciting projects!
