Whole Grain Cereal, Obesity, and the PI3K/Akt Pathway
Whole grain cereal contains fibers, minerals, vitamins, and phytochemicals. Whole grain cereal has been found to inhibit body weight gain and non-alcoholic fatty liver (Lee et al., 2017). Whole grain cereal could decrease the atrophy-associated factors, fat pad mass, and … Continue reading
Systems Biology and Biomarkers in Neuropsychiatry
Neuropsychiatric (NP) disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are the leading causes of disability around the world. However, because of their complexity, the etiology and pathophysiology of NP diseases are still mostly unknown. Such complexity may be caused by … Continue reading
Systems Biomarkers and Skin Diseases
With the development of systems biology, bioinformatics, ‘omics’ studies, more and more discoveries are made in the disorders including cardiovascular diseases and cancer. However, although sometimes ignored, other common illnesses with high incidences including skin diseases also need more assessments … Continue reading
