| Obese male mice father offspring with higher levels of body fat Posted: 16 Jun 2013 12:52 PM PDT Male mice who were fed a high-fat diet and became obese were more likely to father offspring who also had higher levels of body fat, a new study finds. The effect was observed primarily in male offspring, despite their consumption of a low-fat diet, scientists reported.  |
| Advances in genetic sequencing diagnose Paralympic hopeful's rare condition Posted: 16 Jun 2013 12:52 PM PDT National Paracycling Champion Tom Staniford has an extremely rare condition which, until now, has puzzled his doctors. He is unable to store fat under his skin -- yet has type 2 diabetes -- and suffered hearing loss as a child. Now, thanks to advances in genome sequencing, an international research team has identified Tom's condition and pinpointed the single genetic mutation that causes it.  |
| 'Chase and run' cell movement mechanism explains process of metastasis Posted: 16 Jun 2013 12:50 PM PDT A mechanism that cells use to group together and move around the body -- called 'chase and run' -- has been described for the first time by scientists.  |
