Genetic Markers as Instrumental Variables:An Application to Child Fat Mass and Academic Achievement [PDF]
The use of genetic markers as instrumental variables (IV) is receiving increasing attention from economists. This paper examines the conditions that need to be met for genetic variants to be used as instruments.

Protein-coding variants implicate novel genes related to lipid homeostasis contributing to body-fat distribution. [PDF]
, 2019 Body-fat distribution is a risk factor for adverse cardiovascular health consequences. We analyzed the association of body-fat distribution, assessed by waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index, with 228,985 predicted coding and splice site ...

Measures of adiposity: the inappropriate use of the fat mass index [PDF]
International Journal of Obesity, 2009 The fat content of the body is sometimes expressed as the fat mass index (FMI), calculated as fat mass/height2.1 This is advocated because, unlike percentage body fat (%BF), the FMI is independent of fat-free mass.2, 3 However, for most purposes as explained below, the height exponent should be three, not two.

Longitudinal association between preschool fussy eating and body composition at 6 years of age: The Generation R Study [PDF]
, 2015 Background: Children's fussy eating behavior has been related to both underweight and overweight in cross-sectional studies, but the direction of these associations and the relation with more detailed measures of body composition remains unclear.

Time‐Controlled Dual Targeting to Program Systemic and Intercellular Transfer of Therapeutic Effects
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Aspirin‐liposomes loaded onto monocytes enable inflammation‐triggered targeting and efficient hand‐over of aspirin to inflamed cells. Monocytes uptake a significant portion of aspirin‐liposomes, prolonging therapeutic action. This approach enhances anti‐inflammatory effects through intercellular transfer, demonstrating a translational strategy for ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived nanoghosts (MSC‐NGs) mimic naturally secreted extracellular vesicles (MSC‐EVs) in structure and physicochemical properties but can be synthesized at more translatable yields. As osteogenic agents, MSC‐NGs demonstrate superior outcomes compared to MSC‐EVs.
