(Nature, 2021)The structure of proline prevents it from adopting an optimal position for rapid protein synthesis. Poly-proline-tract (PPT) associated ribosomal stalling is resolved by highly conserved eIF5A, the only protein to contain ...
-
(Wiley, 2021)Following a 2019 workshop led by the Center for Global Health Studies at the Fogarty International Center on the topic of childhood obesity prevention and research synergies transpiring from cross-border collaborations, ...
-
(Wiley, 2021)Progress has been made in the development and widespread implementation of effective interventions to address childhood obesity, yet important challenges remain. To understand how the United States and Latin American ...
-
(SBEM-Soc Brasil Endocrinologia & Metabologia, 2021)Objective: To study the association of SLC16A11 gene variants with obesity and metabolic markers in nondiabetic Chilean adults. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included 263 nondiabetic adults. The ...
-
(BMC, 2021)Background: Processing and analyzing whole genome sequencing (WGS) is computationally intense: a single Illumina MiSeq WGS run produces ~ 1 million 250-base-pair reads for each of 24 samples. This poses significant obstacles ...

-
(Nature Research, 2021)Obesity is the most important predisposing factor for cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes. We explored the relationship between the age at onset of obesity and selected cardiometabolic parameters in young adults. ...
-
(MDPI, 2021)Food is inextricably linked to human health and environmental sustainability; however, very little is known about children's perceptions of the concept of sustainability in the context of food choices. We aimed to explore ...
-
(Nature, 2021)Gibberellin (GA) negatively affects color evolution and other ripening-related processes in non-climacteric fruits. The bioactive GA, gibberellic acid (GA(3)), is commonly applied at the light green-to-straw yellow transition ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2021)Introduction: In adults, intake of ultra-processed foods (UPF) has been linked with poor diets and adverse health outcomes. In young children, evidence is scarcer but suggests a higher dietary share of UPF. Objective: ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2021)Consumption of fresh fruit is known to protect against non-communicable diseases due to the fruit's content in compounds with an antioxidant capacity, among them is polyphenols. Asian plums (Prunus salicina L.) accumulate ...
-
(Wiley, 2021)Background Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by the deficient activity of the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKD) enzymatic complex. BCKD is a ...
-
Novel loci and mapuche genetic ancestry are associated with pubertal growth traits in chilean boys (Springer, 2021)Puberty is a complex developmental process that varies considerably among individuals and populations. Genetic factors explain a large proportion of the variability of several pubertal traits. Recent genome-wide association ...
-
(BMC, 2021)Background: The first phase of a comprehensive marketing policy was implemented in Chile in 2016. The policy restricted child-directed marketing of foods and beverages considered high in energy, total sugars, sodium ...
-
(MDPI, 2021)Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) belongs to the family Reoviridae and has been described mainly in association with salmonid infections. The genome of PRV consists of about 23,600 bp, with 10 segments of double-stranded RNA, ...
-
(MDPI, 2021)Newborn screening (NBS) has widely been utilized in developed countries as a costeffective public health strategy that reduces morbidity and mortality. Developing countries, however, are new to the NBS scene and have ...
-
(MDPI, 2021)A clear gap with respect to the potential biological properties of wheat flavonoids exists in the available literature. This information is crucial for breeding programs aiming to produce new varieties presenting improved ...
-
(MDPI, 2021)Because of its outstanding biological and industrial importance, many efforts have been made to characterize the mycobiota of new environments and their biochemical and biotechnological potentials. Gut mycobiota can be ...
-
(MDPI, 2021)Prenatally malnourished rats develop hypertension in adulthood, in part through increased alpha(1)-adrenoceptor-mediated outflow from the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) to the sympathetic system. We studied whether both ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2021)The host microbiome plays an essential role in health and disease. Microbiome modification by pathogens or probiotics has been poorly explored especially in the case of probiotic yeasts. Next-generation sequencing currently ...
