, a critical tumor suppressor gene, plays a significant role in pancreatic biology and tumorigenesis. Genetic background and sex are known to influence phenotypic outcomes, but their impact on pancreatic weight in -deficient mice remains unclear. This study investigates the impact of deficiency on pancreatic weight in first-generation (F1) mice from diverse collaborative cross (CC) lines, focusing on the influence of genetic background and sex.

High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity is key to these diseases through biological mechanisms. This study examined the impact of genetic background on the multimorbidity of intestinal cancer, T2D, and inflammation due to HFD-induced obesity.

Previous studies have shown correlations between obesity, T2D, and neurodegenerative diseases, including dementia. It is imperative to further understand the relationship between obesity, T2D, and cognitive deficits.

This disease influences various aspects of patients' health and well-being. Therefore, making it easier and more accurate to understand and diagnose patients with skeletal malocclusions is necessary.

This study explores the impact of knock-out on the development of intestinal polyps using collaborative cross (CC) mice, a genetically diverse model. Our results reveal a significant increase in intestinal polyps in knock-out mice across the entire population, emphasizing the broad influence of on polyposis.
