Birth weight and maternal BMI modify the relationship between obesity and mortality rate

Obesity is a significant risk factor for premature mortality due to the predisposition to metabolic and cardiovascular disease. However, is this effect independent of the birth weight? A new research paper examines this aspect of adult obesity, measuring the effect of parental body mass index (BMI) and birth weight on the mortality risk.

Researchers develop a biosensor for real time detection of the G-protein molecular switch

DGIST (President: Kook Yang) announced on March 16th that the research team led by Professor Byung-Chang Suh has investigated for the first time the real-time effect of the G-protein cycle, which acts as a switch in our body, on the structural changes in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

Riboswitch may be the key to advance gene therapy, regenerative medicine

The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, in collaboration with Astellas Pharma Inc., has developed a new toolkit that uses small molecules to control the activity of a piece of synthetic RNA, and ultimately regulate gene expression.

Cluster headache and migraine are strongly linked to the circadian system

Both cluster headache and migraine have strong links to the circadian system, the internal clock that regulates body processes, according to a meta-analysis published in the March 29, 2023, online issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Notorious oncogene plays a direct role in disguising growing cancers from the immune system

Cancer-associated genes called oncogenes are well known to stimulate cell growth and division — causing tumors to balloon and spread.

Discovery enables a clear diagnosis for more patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome

Steroid hormones, to which belong sex hormones like estrogen or testosterone, are important signaling molecules and are responsible among other things for controlling female and male phenotypic sex differentiation.

Discontinuing use of THC may reverse its effects on male fertility

A 2022 study from Oregon Health & Science University researchers confirmed that chronic use of cannabis may greatly impact male fertility and reproductive outcomes in nonhuman primates - but it was unclear whether the effects are permanent.

Higher plasma caffeine concentrations might reduce body fat and type 2 diabetes risk

In a recent study published in the journal BMJ Medicine, researchers in the United Kingdom and Sweden investigated the probable causality of long-term serum caffeine concentrations on type 2 diabetes (T2D), adiposity, and major cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

22 Mar 2023

Complications, pathophysiology, and treatment of type 2 diabetes differ by sex

In a recent review published in the journal Diabetologia, researchers in Austria discussed the sex-based differences in the risk factors, diagnosis, and therapeutic approaches for type 2 diabetes and associated complications to improve awareness about and management options for all diabetes type 2 patients.

Childhood and adolescent obesity: time to act

In a recent review published in the journal Frontiers in Pediatrics, researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin presented an overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms, health implications, and management options for obesity among children and adults.
