Increased BMI is associated with an altered decision-making process during healthy food choices in males and females.

Unhealthy diets (rich in calories, sugar, fat, and sodium) are a major cause of obesity. Why individuals struggle to make healthy food choices remains unclear. This study examined how body mass index, biological sex, and eating context influence food attribute perception, the food choice process, and the percentage of healthy food choices.

Ethnicity and breast cancer incidence in over 329 500 women in England in 2011-2019.

Introduction: Previous studies have reported an overall lower breast cancer incidence in women from Asian and Black backgrounds compared with white women. Age standardised and age specific incidence rates in the largest specific ethnicities within Asian and Black groups are not reported.

Materials And Methods: Data on population size and the age distribution of women in five ethnic groups of interest (white British, Black African, Black Caribbean, Indian and Pakistani) were extracted from the Office for National Statistics 2001, 2011 and 2021 census data for England.

Coordination of Focal Adhesion Nanoarchitecture and Dynamics in Mechanosensing for Cardiomyoblast Differentiation.

Focal adhesions (FAs) are force-bearing multiprotein complexes, whose nanoscale organization and signaling are essential for cell growth and differentiation. However, the specific organization of FA components to exert spatiotemporal activation of FA proteins for force sensing and transduction remains unclear. In this study, we unveil the intricacies of FA protein nanoarchitecture and that its dynamics are coordinated by a molecular scaffold protein, BNIP-2, to initiate downstream signal transduction for cardiomyoblast differentiation.

Engineering ultra-strong electron-phonon coupling and nonclassical electron transport in crystalline gold with nanoscale interfaces.

Electrical resistivity in good metals, particularly noble metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), or copper, increases linearly with temperature (T) for T > Θ, where Θ is the Debye temperature. This is because the coupling (λ) between the electrons and the lattice vibrations, or phonons, in these metals is weak, with λ ~ 0.1-0.
