Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of Weight Loss in 16 972 Participants With COPD Reveals Novel Risk Loci in DRAIC and RFX3.

BACKGROUND

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with musculoskeletal comorbidities, including cachexia. Weight loss (WL) is the major criterion for cachexia and increases risk for mortality in COPD. Risk factors for WL in COPD are incompletely understood. We performed this...

Functional liver genomics identifies hepatokines promoting wasting in cancer cachexia.

In cancer cachexia, the presence of a tumor triggers systemic metabolic disruption that leads to involuntary body weight loss and accelerated mortality in affected patients. Here, we conducted transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling of the liver in various weight-stable cancer and...

A fluorescent aptasensor for deoxynivalenol detection based on Nb.BbvCI-assisted targeted-responsive three-way junctions integrated DNA walking machine.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in cereals is a widespread issue with global implications, necessitating the development of efficient detection methods. Here, a fluorescent aptasensor integrating target-responsive DNA three-way junction (TWJ) and DNA walking machine was developed to detect DON. The DON-specific...
