Advanced Science, EarlyView.Cancer cells drive adjacent adipose tissue to release fatty acids by secreting CCL2, which activates PPARα‐dependent lipolysis. The resulting fatty acid influx amplifies HIF‐1α/CCL2 signaling, establishing a positive feedback loop that fuels tumor growth.

Management of obesity and overweight
Medicine, 2003 Modern weight management incorporates optimization of health and risk factors, irrespective of weight change short-term weight loss, and long-term prevention of weight gain/regain (SIGN 2010). Patients with excess body fat and metabolic risks in need of professional weight management can be identified by a large waist (>102 cm for men, >88 cm for women)

Remora‐Inspired Sensing Suction Cup with Adhesion Monitoring and Force Detection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A suction cup with integrated liquid metal microchannel sensors enables stable multidirectional force sensing and adhesion monitoring in both air and water. The flexible resistive sensors, placed on the outer lip, transduce deformations into resistance changes under normal and shear loads.

Chitosan for overweight or obesity
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2008 Chitosan, a deacetylated chitin, is a dietary supplement reported to decrease body weight. It is widely available over the counter worldwide and although evaluated in a number of trials its efficacy remains in dispute.To assess the effects of chitosan as a treatment for overweight and obesity.We searched electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, BIOSIS ...

Does the abiotic environment influence the distribution of flower and fruit colors?
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Color in flowers and fruits carries multiple functions, from attracting animal partners (pollinators, dispersers) to mitigating environmental stress (cold, drought, UV‐B). With research historically focusing on biotic interactions as selective agents, however, it remains unclear whether abiotic stressors impact flower and fruit colors ...

Reconstructing the evolutionary history of herbaceous crops through trait‐based ecology
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Reconstructing the evolution of crop plants is fundamental to understanding their origins, ecological adaptations, and impacts on ecosystem processes. However, our understanding of crop evolution stems largely from archaeology and genetics, with less focus on a trait‐based ecological approach.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Why did it take so long for angiosperms to diversify after they arose? Here I consider the indirect but potentially crucial impact of the “photosynthetic revolution” on plant–herbivore coevolution. Increased vein density in fossil leaves implies a doubling in photosynthesis 125–100 million years ago.
