Research highlights: Highlights from the last year in nanomedicine.
Synthetic biology attempts to reproduce emergent behaviors from natural biology with the goal of creating artificial life. The main challenge in this field is the reduction of complex phenomena into functional components, which can be individually engineered and later combined to replicate the macroscopic behavior of the model biological system. Nawroth and coworkers reverse-engineered the mech...

A new report provides intriguing new data on the potential role of cellular senescence in aging and metabolic dysfunction. Aging is accompanied by development of chronic diseases as well as loss of function, changes in body composition, and insulin resistance. Despite these well-recognized patterns, the specifi c mechanisms by which aging increases risk of disease and loss of function are poorl...

There is no doubt that a Western lifestyle, including excess caloric intake and limited physical activity, increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. Understanding the risks associated with specifi c aspects of unfavorable lifestyle choices may facilitate the development of prevention efforts that are tailored to the needs of specifi c patients. One feature of the Western diet is a relatively high ...

Circulating fatty acids (FAs) have an unclear relationship to insulin sensitivity. During fasting and exercise, FAs from white adipose tissue (WAT) lipolysis are delivered to peripheral tissue to meet energy needs. In obesity, excess circulating FAs are thought to drive the development of insulin resistance. Girousse et al., through a variety of in vivo and in vitro human and mouse studies, pro...
