The newly created lectureship will examine how metabolism and the immune system interact, while identifying mechanisms that could inform microbiome-based strategies to prevent and treat overweight and obesity.

Researchers have developed an AI-based platform that can map disease-related changes across the entire mouse body at cellular resolution. Using Mouse Mapper, the team identified widespread inflammation and previously unknown obesity-related damage to facial sensory nerves, and it found corresponding molecular signatures in human tissue.

A recent report has mentioned that eating ultra-processed food has a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and death. It also highlights the risks of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease.

A new study has found that obesity may increase the risk of severe infections such as influenza, Covid-19, pneumonia, and gastrointestinal and urinary tract infections in people.

Experiments with rodents show that metabolic dysfunction is “transmitted” to offspring through molecules present in sperm, causing them to become pre-diabetic. This phenomenon is reversible through weight loss before conception

A new study has revealed that the body mass index (BMI) in children is shaped mainly by genetic inheritance and not by parental weight during pregnancy.

A review of research on repeated weight loss and regain suggests that yo‑yo dieting is not necessarily as harmful as it is often portrayed.

A recent pilot study has revealed that liver screening at health clinics can prevent liver diseases. It shares that the best path for addressing liver disease is to identify the issue early on and make lifestyle changes accordingly.

A study shows that women who experience premature menopause before age 40 are at a 40 % higher risk of developing coronary heart diseases. It also found that premature menopause was three times more common among black women than white women.

A study has revealed that patients with low body mass index and high waist-to-hip ratio – described as the ‘lemon-on-sticks’ phenotype – had a higher burden of congestion, adverse biomarkers and double the risk of mortality compared to patients with more general adiposity.
