Our new paper is out ! Impact of the gut microbiota and associated metabolites on cardiometabolic traits, chronic diseases and human longevity: a Mendelian randomization study.
translational-medicine.biomedcentral.com
Features of the gut microbiota have been associated with several chronic diseases and longevity in preclinical models as well as in observational studies. Whether these relations underlie causal...

The brain is critical in regulating energy balance and body weight. We used genetic colocalization and Mendelian randomization to discover 71 brain proteins that may be critical regulators of body weight and possibly dietary intake in humans. https://t.co/id7dSJ5oeh

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genetic variants associated with body weight but the biological relevance of most remains unexplored. Given the critical role of the...

Alterations of the gut microbiota, often referred to as gut dysbiosis, have been associated with several chronic diseases and longevity in pre-clinical models as well as in observational studies....
