Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Body mass index versus body fat percentage: implications for accurate assessment of weight status

Annals of the “Ştefan cel Mare” University: Physical Education and Sport Section - The Science and Art of Movement
Body Mass Index (BMI) is widely used to classify weight status, yet it does not distinguish between fat mass and lean mass. Therefore, BMI may misclassify individuals when adiposity is assessed directly.

Use of social networking sites and perception and intentions regarding body weight among adolescents

Obesity Science & Practice, 2016
Summary Objective Social networking sites (SNSs) not only offer users an opportunity to link with others but also allow individuals to compare themselves with other users. However, the link between the use of SNSs and the dissatisfaction with body weight

Developmental programmes drive cellular plasticity, disease progression and therapy resistance in lung adenocarcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study shows that lung adenocarcinomas exploit developmental branching morphogenesis to acquire a therapy resistant basal‐like tumour cell state. This process was found to be regulated by combined TP53 loss‐of‐function and type‐I interferon signalling, identifying a novel axis for biomarker and therapeutic target discovery.

Changes in body mass during weight loss treatment – a two-year prospective study

Studia Medyczne, 2017
Introduction : A reduction of 5% to 10% of body mass is related to a significantly lower risk of the occurrence of conditions whose underlying cause is obesity.

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

PREDICTION OF BODY WEIGHT OF PIGS FROM BODY MEASUREMENTS [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2004
An attempt was made to develop a formula to estimate the body weight (W) of Large White Yorkshire piglets aged between three to six months using body length (L) and chest girth (G) data.

Preoperative circulating tumor cells integrated with imaging analysis for prognostic evaluation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood before surgery may help predict outcomes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we show when combined with tumor size and lymph node involvement from routine imaging, CTC status identifies high‐risk patients with poorer survival—offering a simple, minimally invasive tool ...
