The first Young Investigator selected talk @ the #SLDSummit is pure basic science 😍 Erika Paolini used spatial transcriptomics to map the metabolic zonation of hepatocytes in MASLD, showing that PNPLA3 affects zonation by impairing periportal function 🧫🔬⚗️🧬🧪 @easlnews.bsky.social #liversky

There is urgent need for clinical trials for #HBV in #Africa. Studies must deliver: 1. Quick start-up 2. Site potential, access to participants 3. High quality research leading to impact www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... 🧪 #HepSky #LiverSky @mariondelphin.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk
Two maps, first showing the distribution of HBV infection worldwide and then showing the location of clinical trials. Trials are least representative of high burden settings, especially for Africa.

Quote from Editorial - "The excitement surrounding incretin mimetics is understandable, but, on their own, these drugs will not end the obesity crisis"
