Tirzepatide may reduce major kidney events in T2D patients with CVD, CKD
The use of tirzepatide appears to reduce decline in kidney function, prevent albuminuria progression, and lower the risk of the composite kidney outcome compared with dulaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and very high-risk chronic kidney disease (CKD), reports a study presented at Kidney Week 2025.

Can indoleacetic acid help overcome P. vulgatus–induced IO resistance in HCC?
Researchers from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have identified enrichment in Phocaeicola vulgatus as a potential cause for immunotherapy (IO) resistance in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and shown Sthat supplementation with indoleacetic acid (IAA) can overcome P. vulgatus–induced immunosuppression, thereby establishing a causal relationship between P. vulgatus and anti–PD-1 resistance in HCC.
