Abstract Background Body mass index (BMI) has been shown to be associated with lung function.Recent findings showed that DNA methylation (DNAm) variation is likely to be a consequence of changes in BMI.However, whether DNAm mediates the association of BMI with lung function is unknown.We examined the mediating role of DNAm on the association of pre
Quantifying the Metabolic Signature of Multiple Sclerosis by in vivo Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: Current Challenges and Future Outlook in the Translation From Proton Signal to Diagnostic Biomarker
Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) offers a growing variety of methods for querying potential diagnostic biomarkers of multiple sclerosis in living central nervous system tissue.For the past three decades, 1H-MRS has enabled the acquisition of a rich dataset suggestive of numerous metabolic alterations in lesions, normal-appearing whit

Forelimb reduction and digit loss were evolutionarily decoupled in oviraptorosaurian theropod dinosaurs
Theropod forelimbs exhibit wide morphological disparity, from the elongated wings of birds to the diminutive arms of T.rex.A wealth of work has sought to understand the evolution of bird flight via arm elongation, but despite widespread occurrences of forelimb reduction and digit loss throughout theropod dinosaurs, the evolutionary drivers behind t
