Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the unique immune environment of the lungs, highlighting how different immune cells respond to activators, which is crucial for understanding asthma development and lung immunity.
- - Researchers isolated lung immune cells from six donors and evaluated their gene expression after exposure to various stimuli using advanced techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing.
- - Findings revealed significant changes in gene expression across different immune cell types, with a notable correlation to asthma-related genetic factors, emphasizing the role of lung B cells in expressing specific genes associated with asthma.
Weight loss can positively alter female physiology; however, whether dietary carbohydrate- or fat- restriction confer unique effects is less studied. Precisely designed, hypocaloric well-formulated ketogenic diets (KD; ~75% energy for weight maintenance) were compared to isocaloric/isonitrogenous low-fat diet (LFD) on self-reported menses in pre-menopausal overweight and obese women (mean ± SD: 34 ± 10 years, BMI: 32.3 ± 2.
