Variability in the heritability of body mass index: a systematic review and meta-regression.

Frontiers in endocrinology

Elks CE, den Hoed M, Zhao JH, Sharp SJ, Wareham NJ, Loos RJ, Ong KK.
PMID: 22645519
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne). 2012 Feb 28;3:29. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2012.00029. eCollection 2012.

Evidence for a major role of genetic factors in the determination of body mass index (BMI) comes from studies of related individuals. Despite consistent evidence for a heritable component of BMI, estimates of BMI heritability vary widely between studies...

Tracheal tissue-engineering: in-vivo biocompatibility of mechanically-stripped allogenic rabbit trachea with autologous epithelial covering.

Acta chirurgica Belgica

Den Hondt M, Vanaudenaerde BM, Verbeken EK, Vranckx JJ.
PMID: 27696973
Acta Chir Belg. 2016 Jun;116(3):164-174. doi: 10.1080/00015458.2016.1210844. Epub 2016 Oct 04.

BACKGROUND: Successful trachea transplantation comprises the use of biocompatible constructs with little immune-reactivity, submucosal revascularization and creation of an epithelial covering. Allogenic chondrocytes might be protected from an overt immune-response due to physical isolation. Our aim was to evaluate...

Front Public Health. 2021 Nov 23;9:669022. doi: 10.3389/fpubh.2021.669022. eCollection 2021.

Chronic biological stress may adversely affect adolescents' physical and mental health, but insight in the personal and environmental factors that determine chronic stress is limited. We measured 3-month cumulative hair cortisol concentration (HCC) in 419 adolescents, participating in the...

Towards the elimination of visceral leishmaniasis as a public health problem in east Africa: reflections on an enhanced control strategy and a call for action.

Lancet Glob Health. 2021 Dec;9(12):e1763-e1769. doi: 10.1016/S2214-109X(21)00392-2.

East Africa is the world region most affected by visceral leishmaniasis, accounting for 45% of cases globally that were reported to WHO in 2018, with an annual incidence that is only slightly decreasing. Unlike southeast Asia, east Africa does...

Sphingolipid metabolism governs Purkinje cell patterned degeneration in .

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Blot FGC, Krijnen WHJJ, Den Hoedt S, Osório C, White JJ, Mulder MT, Schonewille M.
PMID: 34479994
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2021 Sep 07;118(36). doi: 10.1073/pnas.2016969118.

Patterned degeneration of Purkinje cells (PCs) can be observed in a wide range of neuropathologies, but mechanisms behind nonrandom cerebellar neurodegeneration remain unclear. Sphingolipid metabolism dyshomeostasis typically leads to PC neurodegeneration; hence, we questioned whether local sphingolipid balance underlies...
