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

Alcohol use disorders increase after bariatric surgery. Why?

🎯 Increased consumption, sure, but also:
🎯 Alcohol pharmacokinetics
🎯 Gut hormone secretion changes

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

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.

Fantastic work by the British Liver Trust to launch a campaign for action and advocacy for #HBV elimination in the UK… political engagement is vital.

Useful tip...

There's no 'bookmark' function in Bluesky currently. But there is a nice work-around:

1) Reply to the post of interest with a📌emoji
2) Click on this link bsky.app/profile/did:...
3) Click 'Pin to Home'

This will collate📌posts in a tab on your home screen + ⬆️ engagement.

Found a workaround using an unofficial BBC news bot! The BBC need there act together and open some official accounts on here.

@mariannaspringbbc.bsky.social - can you help????

#LiverSky - anyone managed to post an article from BBC news straight on to here? When I tried using the share function from the article it put the headline into the post but no link.

Help please 🙏🏽
