A primer on low-carbon design in architectural acoustics using a case study of residential floorsa).

Designers are increasingly tasked to reduce the carbon footprint of buildings. While core disciplines (e.g.

Chronic GIPR agonism results in pancreatic islet GIPR functional desensitisation.

Objectives: There is renewed interest in targeting the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) for treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. G-protein coupled receptor desensitisation is suggested to reduce the long-term efficacy of glucagon-like-peptide 1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists and may similarly affect the efficacy of GIPR agonists. We explored the extent of pancreatic GIPR functional desensitisation with sustained agonist exposure.

Intrauterine metformin exposure and adiposity outcomes in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The study aims to assess the effect of intrauterine metformin exposure on offspring adiposity measures in childhood.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Data Sources: Medline, Embase and Cochrane Central were searched from inception to 4 October 2024.

Induction of MASH in three-dimensional bioprinted human liver tissue.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), formerly known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (MASH), is a major risk factor for cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and a leading cause of liver transplantation. MASH is caused by an accumulation of toxic fat molecules in the hepatocyte which leads to inflammation and fibrosis. Inadequate human "MASH in a dish" models have limited our advances in understanding MASH pathogenesis and in drug discovery.
