Pharmacophoric Investigation of a Natural Product-like Class of Aromatase Inhibitors Using Molecular Modeling
ACS omega ·doi:10.1021/acsomega.5c07640

Endometriosis is a condition affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women in which endometrial tissue is found in locations outside the uterus, often causing debilitating symptoms. Aromatase, an enzyme that also plays a key role in…

Caesarean birth in women with infertility: population-based cohort study.
BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology ·doi:10.1111/1471-0528.17019

ObjectiveCaesarean section (CS) is more common following infertility treatment (IT) but the reasons why remain unclear and confounded. The Robson 10-Group Classification System (TGCS) may further explain variation in CS rates. We assessed t…

Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis Identifies Vitamin D-Associated Gene Modules in Adult Normal Rectal Epithelium Following Supplementation.
Frontiers in genetics ·doi:10.3389/fgene.2021.783970

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common, multifactorial disease. While observational studies have identified an association between lower vitamin D and higher CRC risk, supplementation trials have been inconclusive and the mechanisms by which v…

Endometriosis and adverse maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes, a systematic review and meta-analysis
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/dey269

STUDY QUESTION: How is endometriosis associated with adverse maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes of pregnancy? SUMMARY ANSWER: Women with endometriosis are at elevated risk for serious and important adverse maternal (pre-eclampsia, gestat…

Protein-altering variants associated with body mass index implicate pathways that control energy intake and expenditure in obesity.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-017-0011-x

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal gene…

Publisher Correction: Protein-altering variants associated with body mass index implicate pathways that control energy intake and expenditure in obesity.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-018-0082-3

In the version of this article originally published, one of the two authors with the name Wei Zhao was omitted from the author list and the affiliations for both authors were assigned to the single Wei Zhao in the author list. In addition, …

Novel risk models for early detection and screening of ovarian cancer.
Oncotarget ·doi:10.18632/oncotarget.13648

PurposeOvarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynaecological cancer. Early detection is required to improve patient survival. Risk estimation models were constructed for Type I (Model I) and Type II (Model II) OC from analysis of Protein Z,…

New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution.
Nature ·doi:10.1038/nature14132

Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links…
