Relation of body mass index, fat mass index and fat-free mass index to blood pressure in children aged 7–12 in Shandong, China

open access: yesAnnals of Human Biology, 2011
Body mass index (BMI) is widely used to assess the prevalence of childhood obesity in populations and its relationship with blood pressure has been observed. However, no studies on the distribution of fat mass index (FMI) and fat-free mass index (FFMI) and their relationship with blood pressure have been reported.The present study examined the ...

Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...
