Childhood adiposity associated with increased risk of recently proposed subtypes of adult-onset diabetes

New research published in Diabetologia (the journal of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes [EASD]) is the first study to show that childhood obesity is associated with an increased risk of four of the five recently proposed subtypes of adult-onset diabetes.

Mutation in a single non-coding gene found to be the source of multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome

A team of investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital, a founding member of Mass General Brigham and Mass General for Children has identified - for the first time - the mutation in a single non-coding gene of a young patient responsible for the extremely rare disease known as multisystemic smooth muscle dysfunction syndrome, which causes profound cerebrovascular, gastrointestinal and urologic impairment.

HIV creates reservoirs much earlier than expected, study shows

For the first time in humans, a research team has shown that, as early as the first days of infection, HIV is able to create reservoirs where it will hide and persist during antiretroviral therapy.
