Obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, a disease affecting approximately 10% of the global population. Obesity is a heterogeneous condition, with different components exerting distinct, and sometimes opposing, effects on type 2 diabetes risk. Here, we aim to identify molecular mechanisms through which distinct components of obesity influence risk for type…

A novel study has found that obesity is associated with a distinct molecular program driving the transition from early-stage, premalignant breast lesions to invasive breast cancer. Rather than simply showing increased activation of classical invasive pathways, tumors from patients with obesity exhibited a distinct stress-adaptive phenotype. The findings from the study published by Hladik et…
