The impact of obesity on sleep, pulmonary and chest wall restriction in Osteogenesis Imperfecta: a pilot study

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Introduction Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is characterised by brittle bones, severe skeletal deformities, low sleep quality, and restricted breathing. We aimed to distinguish how disease and obesity affect these results.

Evaluation of food consumption, energy availability and adherence to the Mediterranean dietary pattern in a group of non-professional athletes

Frontiers in Nutrition
Background and aimAdequate nutritional intake is fundamental for optimizing athletic performance and maintaining health. The aim of the present study was to investigate the dietary habits of a group of non-professional athletes, assessing their capacity ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

The moderating effect of physical activity in the relationship between sleep quality and BMI in adults with overweight and obesity

Frontiers in Sports and Active Living
Inadequate sleep quality is a significant risk factor for overweight and obesity, which in turn may predispose individuals to adverse health outcomes.

DeepFood: Food Image Analysis and Dietary Assessment via Deep Model

IEEE Access, 2020
Food is essential for human life and has been the concern of many healthcare conventions. Nowadays new dietary assessment and nutrition analysis tools enable more opportunities to help people understand their daily eating habits, exploring nutrition ...

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

The benefit of diet on paradoxical breathing and sleep in Osteogenesis imperfecta

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
We evaluated breathing (i.e.: thoracic contribution to tidal volume in the supine position) and sleep (i.e.: apnea-hypopnea index (AHI)) before and after a 6-month of restricted Mediterranean Diet on 22 volunteers with a confirmed diagnosis of ...

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

The global diet quality score as an indicator of adequate nutrient intake and dietary quality – a nation-wide representative study

Nutrition Journal
Background The Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) was developed to be a simple, timely and cost-effective tool to track, simultaneously, nutritional deficiency and non-communicable disease risks from diet in diverse settings.

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 ...
