The prevalence of overweight and obesity in developed and developing countries has
greatly increased the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is evident from …

Excessive caloric intake without a rise in energy expenditure promotes adipocyte
hyperplasia and adiposity. The rise in adipocyte number is triggered by signaling factors that …

The let-7 tumor suppressor microRNAs are known for their regulation of oncogenes, while
the RNA-binding proteins Lin28a/b promote malignancy by inhibiting let-7 biogenesis. We …

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are integral elements in the post-transcriptional control of gene
expression. After the identification of hundreds of miRNAs, the challenge is now to …

Epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a fundamental process in development and
disease. Zinc‐finger enhancer binding (ZEB) transcription factors (ZEB1 and ZEB2) are …

During the last decades, research on adipose tissues has spread in parallel with the
extension of obesity. Several observations converged on the idea that adipose tissues are …

In recent years, the link between regulatory microRNAs (miRNAs) and diseases has been
the object of intensive research. miRNAs have emerged as key mediators of metabolic …

Unicellular marine algae have promise for providing sustainable and scalable biofuel
feedstocks, although no single species has emerged as a preferred organism. Moreover …

Obesity has emerged as a global health problem with more than 1.1 billion adults to be
classified as overweight or obese, and is associated with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular …

Adipose tissue development is tightly regulated by altering gene expression. MicroRNAs are
strong posttranscriptional regulators of mammalian differentiation. We hypothesized that …
