Introduction: Adipose tissue inflammation, driven in part by immune cells, may contribute to the elevated type 2 diabetes risk in adults with childhood-onset obesity (CO) compared to those with adult-onset obesity (AO). Weight loss can modify adipose tissue immune cell composition, but whether these changes differ by obesity onset remains unknown. Method ...

Urban flooding has become a growing concern for many cities due to accelerating urbanisation, changing weather, and drainage system aging. Earlier studies of floods have taken primarily the traditional process-based approach to predicting urban floods, offering limited exploration of recent advancements in AI-driven, real-time, and community-integrated ap ...

Cancer diagnosis requires alternative techniques that allow for early, non-invasive, or minimally invasive identification. Traditional methods, like tissue biopsies, are highly invasive and can be traumatic for patients. Liquid biopsy, a less invasive option, detects cancer biomarkers in body fluids such as blood and urine. However, early-stage cancer oft ...

The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance is a critical challenge, necessitating the development of strategies to mitigate the evolution of resistance. Collateral sensitivity (CS)-based sequential therapies have been proposed to mitigate resistance evolution. However, the evolutionary repeatability of CS across different experimental conditions a ...

In individuals with obesity, the onset of chronic comorbidities coincides with the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in various tissue beds. As obesity progresses, adipose tissue becomes increasingly dysfunctional causing chronic low-grade inflammation. Indeed, adipose tissue inflammation, which partially stems from macrophage infiltration and expr ...
