Development and validation of a risk prediction model for high-risk #adenomas at the time of first screening #colonoscopy among screening aged Canadians

On By aledopressIn Gastroenterology

The aim of this study was to develop a risk prediction model for HRAs detected at screening colonoscopy based on readily available participant information. The cohort consisted of 3035 participants aged 50 to 74 years with no history of cancer who underwent a primary screening colonoscopy at a centralized colon cancer screening centre between 2008 and …

VPS39-deficiency observed in type 2 #diabetes impairs #muscle stem cell differentiation via altered autophagy and epigenetics

On By aledopressIn Endocrinology, Neurology

Insulin resistance and lower muscle quality (strength divided by mass) are hallmarks of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Here, we explore whether alterations in muscle stem cells (myoblasts) from individuals with T2D contribute to these phenotypes. We identify VPS39 as an important regulator of myoblast differentiation and muscle glucose uptake, and VPS39 is downregulated in myoblasts …
