Epigenetic disturbances in obesity and diabetes : epidemiological and functional insights by Loh, Marie, Zhou, Li, Ng, Hong Kiat, Chambers, John Campbell

“…Epigenetic factors have demonstrated potential in accounting for additional phenotypic variation, along with providing insights into the causal relationship linking genetic variants to phenotypes. Scope of review: In this review article, we discuss the epidemiological and functional insights into epigenetic disturbances in obesity and diabetes, along with future research directions and approaches, with a focus on DNA methylation. …”

Gut microbiota in colorectal cancer: biological role and therapeutic opportunities by Pandey, Himani, Tang, Daryl W. T., Wong, Sunny Hei, Lal, Devi

“…Advances in next-generation sequencing technologies and metagenomics have provided new insights into the gut microbial ecology and have helped in linking gut microbiota to CRC. Many studies carried out in humans and animal models have emphasized the role of certain gut bacteria, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum, enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis, and colibactin-producing Escherichia coli, in the onset and progression of CRC. …”

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Molecular Probe for Sensitive Imaging of Keloid by Miao, Qingqing, Yeo, David Chenloong, Wiraja, Christian, Zhang, Jianjian, Ning, Xiaoyu, Xu, Chenjie, Pu, Kanyi

“…As keloid cells have high expression levels of fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAPα), the probe (FNP1) is designed to have a caged NIR dye and a FAPα-cleavable peptide substrate linked by a self-immolative segment. FNP1 can quickly and specifically turn on its fluorescence at 710 nm by 45-fold in the presence of FAPα, allowing it to effectively recognize keloid cells from normal skin cells. …”
