WGCNA Identification of Genes and Pathways Involved in the Pathogenesis of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis.

Purpose: Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) patients may suffer from chronic pain and increased fractures due to brittle bones that seriously affect their normal work and life. Exploring the pathogenesis of PMO can help clinicians construct individualized therapeutic targets.

Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by analyzing the microarray assays of monocytes from 20 PMO and 20 control samples.

Effect of eating habits on obesity in adolescents: a study among Chinese college students.

Objective: Obesity has been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoarthritis. Obesity and overweight pose a serious threat to human health, with an estimated 190 million overweight and obese people worldwide. Thus, we investigated the influence of certain eating habits on weight among Chinese college students.

Gut microbiota: an overlooked factor that plays a significant role in osteoporosis.

Gut microbes are known as the body’s second gene pool. Symbiotic intestinal bacteria play a major role in maintaining balance in humans. Bad eating habits, antibiotic abuse, diseases, and a poor living environment have a negative effect on intestinal flora.
