Assessing Aβ‐independent effects of Module 42 on immune function in vitro
Abstract INTRODUCTION A deep multi‐omic analysis of post mortem human brains has identified a new co‐expression protein network – Module 42 (M42), strongly corelated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. M42 comprises 32 transmembrane and extracellular matrix (ECM)‐associated proteins, including the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and apolipoprotein

Following up on follistatin [PDF]
Ohio State University and Nationwide Children's Hospital researchers have advanced their work on follistatin gene therapy to show that it increased muscle mass and improved muscle strength in macaques. They hope to move into clinical trials to treat musculoskeletal diseases by mid-2010.

Prediabetes Associates With Musculoskeletal Alterations Independent of Total Body Adiposity
ABSTRACT Background Excess adiposity is a major risk factor for insulin resistance, prediabetes, and Type 2 diabetes and increases the risk for sarcopenia and osteosarcopenia later in life. It has been proposed that altered metabolic function and musculoskeletal status in people with obesity are directly linked, presumably because they share common ...
