June 25, 2019 – The global obesity epidemic is so far-reaching it now has an overarching name: globesity (obviously derived from global obesity).  Very interesting questions arise in this context such as are there glocalized (global and or local) factors involved in this epidemic.

March 19, 1014 – We just learned from a recent Press Release by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the approval of Metreleptin [Myalept] to treat leptin deficiency. Read the article below:

On February 24, 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Myalept (metreleptin for injection) as replacement therapy to treat the complications of leptin deficiency,

  • Development and analytical validation of a next-generation sequencing based microsatellite instabili October 18, 2019
    The referenced article describes an assay that has a clinically relevant five-day turnaround time and can be conducted on as little as 20 ng genomic DNA with a batch size of up to forty samples in a single run.
  • Lifestyle is a threat to gut bacteria: Ötzi proves it October 18, 2019
    The intestinal microbiome is a delicate ecosystem made up of billions and billions of microorganisms, bacteria in particular, that support our immune system, protect us from viruses and pathogens, and help us absorb nutrients and produce energy. The industrialization process in Western countries had a huge impact on its content. This was confirmed by a […]
  • Singapore completes whole genome sequencing analysis of multi-ethnic Asian populations October 18, 2019
    A new genetic databank has been established containing the completed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data of close to 5,000 Singaporeans. Worldwide, WGS is increasingly used in research and healthcare to identify genetic variations using cutting-edge technologies that allow large numbers of individuals to be sequenced rapidly—This new study is the world's largest WGS analysis of Asian […]
  • Researchers quantify limitations of health reports from direct-to-consumer genetic tests October 17, 2019
    Health reports from direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests that use a limited variant screening approach often yield clinical false-negative results, which pose the risk of informing health care decisions based on incomplete information, according to findings presented at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2019 Annual Meeting in Houston, Texas.
  • Researchers develop mouse model of human gene involved in Alzheimer's disease October 17, 2019
    In research that helps scientists better understand and explore treatments for diseases like Alzheimer's, scientists have developed a line of mice in which the mouse version of the Alzheimer's-associated MAPT gene has been fully replaced by the human version of the gene. In this new animal model, known as a full gene-replacement model, the MAPT […]
