TITLE: "“Cross-tissue multiomics studies reveal gutbrain interactions mediating the effect of Akkermansia muciniphila in counteracting fructose-induced obesity” ABSTRACT: The gut bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) has been implicated in anti-obesity effects, but a systems level understanding of the molecular mechanisms is lacking. We carried out multiomics studies to investigate the molecular cascades mediating the anti-obesity effect of A. muciniphila in a fructoseinduced obesity mouse model. […]

TITLE: "Exercise and tumor genomic landscapes in 2,702 patients with cancer" ABSTRACT: Approximately two-thirds of cancer diagnoses globally are attributed to modifiable lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet and inactivity. Conversely, regular exercise is linked to decreased risk of multiple cancers. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Specifically, how exercise impacts tumor genomic […]
