Scientists Identify Molecular Mechanism Behind Persistent Obesity and Weight Relapse

Two enduring biological mysteries have remained unsolved for decades: why almost everyone who loses weight gains it back, no matter how they lost it, and why obesity passes from mother to child at rates that diet and environment cannot explain. Now, scientists from Harrington Discovery Institute at University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University have identified why.

Multi-Omic Integration Reveals Novel Gene-Disease Links in Undiagnosed Rare Conditions

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and Genomics England have shown that measuring proteins in the blood can provide important additional clues about the effects of genetic variants, helping to identify diagnoses and potential new disease-causing genes that genome sequencing alone has been unable to resolve.

Advanced Gene Editing Provides Essential Tool for Studying Early Human Embryonic Development

A study by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons has found that new cutting-edge techniques can accurately edit genes in human embryos-giving scientists indispensable tools for understanding normal human development-but has also uncovered important risks that currently preclude the use of the techniques in the clinic.

Human Embryos Repair Single-Strand DNA Damage Reliably but Fail at Double-Strand Breaks

Although DNA repair is one of the fundamental processes required for normal human embryonic development, little has been known about how it operates during the earliest stages of development.

Loss of Matrix Receptors Impairs Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling, Cell Spreading, and Osteogenic Differentiation

During bone healing, skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs), which can multiply and develop into bone-forming cells, move to the injury site and help build new bone.

Macrophages Function as Trash Collectors for Energy-Demanding Tissues

The body's heart muscle (for pumping blood), skeletal muscle (for movement and posture), and brown fat (for heat production), each require a lot of energy and make a lot of waste. And that waste needs to be managed.

New Understanding of Brain Circuitry Genes Opens Door for Targeted OCD Therapies

A Rutgers-led international team co-authored a study, which was published in Nature Neuroscience, revealing 36 genes significantly increasing the risk for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and chronic tic disorders. This research offers the most comprehensive biological insight into the development of these conditions and potential future treatments.
