It is well known that genes play a major role in many human diseases - for this reason they are an important research topic in the field of life science and medicine. How can the public quickly grasp the recent research on disease-related genes, when the only resources out about them are long complex academic journals? To save the time and energy of researchers, Cyagen has launched its new project -‘Gene of the Week’...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a hepatopathy syndrome affecting both adults and children, is characterized by a range of liver conditions affecting people who consume little to no alcohol, including simple fatty liver, steatohepatitis, fatty liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis. NAFLD can progress from simple fatty liver through nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to liver fibrosis, and even lead to end-stage liver diseases, such as, liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), or liver failure.

While chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a relatively common disease, it remains difficult to treat. This is defined as a continuous or recurrent inflammatory pancreatic disease characterized by progressive and irreversible changes in pancreatic morphology. So far, scholars around the globe have done a lot of research on the diagnosis, treatment, and pathogenesis of the disease.

The novel coronavirus, now officially designated as SARS-CoV-2, was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December of 2019. This virus has led to an outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease in 2019), which is associated with acute respiratory illness and infection, as is common for diseases caused by the coronavirus family.
