Latest Diet & Weight Management News WEDNESDAY, Feb. 11, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- New research offers more evidence that genes play a significant role in obesity. The findings may help explain why some people are more likely to put on extra pounds and develop obesity-linked conditions, the investigators said. The researchers analyzed genetic samples from more than 300,000 people and identified more than 140 locations across their sets of DNA that play a role in obesity. They also pinpointed new biological pathways that play important roles in body weight and fat distribution. The findings appear in two companion papers published Feb. 11 in the journal Nature. This is the first step toward identifying individual genes involved in body shape and size, the researchers said. The proteins produced by the genes could offer targets for the development of new drugs to fight obesity. One of the papers focused on genes that affect where fat is stored in the body, which affects health risk. For example, people with more belly fat are more likely to have metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease than those with more fat in the hips or distributed throughout the body. "We need to … Continue reading →

Ras Al Khaimah, UAE (PRWEB) February 12, 2015 Private equity and international research consultancy, Grace Centurys portfolio company, Provia Laboratories, LLC, has announced, just days after the provisional approval of the firms new entrance into the Commonwealth, that Dr. James A. Manganello has been invited to serve on a newly formed pre-clearance team for future entities applying for activity in the Caribbean nation. The purpose of this team, led by Dr. Desiree Cox, Rhodes Scholar, MD, Ph.D., MPhil, is to provide quality control of the stem cell research and stem cell therapy applications submitted to the Bahamian National Stem Cell Ethics Committee. "This further demonstrates Provias leadership in this field. Provia has advised pharmaceutical/biotech companies and consulted on multiple initiatives within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the field of biobanking for many years now. The team has established itself as a group of thought leaders in the field of bio-banking and stem cell science, Scott Wolf, CEO of Grace Century, commented. The commonwealth continues to fortify its vision for establishing the nation as a true global force in health care innovations and in the future of the stem cell industry, Wolf added. I am truly honored to be … Continue reading →
