The current obesity epidemic is a major worldwide health concern. Despite the consensus that brain regulates energy homeostasis, neural adaptations governing are unknown. Using combination of high-throughput single-cell RNA sequencing and longitudinal in vivo two-photon calcium imaging, we surveyed functional alterations lateral hypothalamic area (LHA)-a highly conserved region orchestrates feeding-in mouse model obesity. transcriptional profile LHA glutamatergic neurons was affected by...
The World Health Organization recommends all men who have sex with (MSM) receive Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and C (HCV) testing.

This nationwide online randomized controlled trial will evaluate effectiveness of crowdsourced intervention increase testing among China.Seven hundred be recruited through social media operated by organizations...
