🧬 Aregawi et al. identified 6 HBV genotypes among 778 patients in a Canadian cohort.
🩺 Genotype C had the highest HBeAg positivity prevalence at 23.7%.

@genesndiseases.bsky.socialA newly uncovered brake on #HBV replication.
HOXD1 limits HBV transcription by suppressing #UFMylation, revealing a host defence pathway that regulates NF-κB signalling and may offer a new therapeutic target for chronic hepatitis B.

A #therapy developed in Italy (San Raffaele Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy) and the US (nChroma Bio) reduced #HBV activity in #mice and proved safe in #monkeys, paving the way for #ClinicalTrials.

@genesndiseases.bsky.socialTargeting RRM2 could tackle both #HCC and #HBV.
This study identifies HP28 and HP39 as RRM2 inhibitors that deplete dNTPs, suppress #tumor growth and HBV replication, and retain activity against sorafenib-resistant HCC.

@pippa-matt.bsky.socialConference on #LiverDisease in #Africa ( #COLDA) meeting in #AddisAbaba, #Ethiopia. Inspiring enthusiasm from researchers & clinicians to drive advances for #elimination of viral #hepatitis and liver disease in Africa. @sdgactioncampaign.org @whowpro.bsky.social @crick.ac.uk #AfricaCDC #HBV #IDSky 🧪
@genesndiseases.bsky.socialHow can chronic #HBV be controlled despite T-cell exhaustion?
CXCR5+CD8+ T cells retain #antiviral effector and B-cell helper functions, correlate with lower viral markers, and may offer a new therapeutic strategy.
