7 in 10 women will experience sickness during pregnancy, like the Princess of Wales The Prince and Princess of Wales did. Some will be so ill they're hospitalised. Scientists Inst Metabolic Science-Metabolic Research Labs have worked out why – and the discovery could help develop future treatments 👇 Pregnancy Sickness Support
nature 'GDF15 linked to maternal risk of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy' - Inst Metabolic Science-Metabolic Research Labs & Pregnancy Sickness Support are inviting women who have suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum to help future research by sharing their experience and completing this survey. redcap.link/hghope

Rare gene variants identified by Yajie Zhao, 赵亚杰 and Medical Research Council colleagues have the largest impacts on obesity risk discovered to date. The BSN & APBA1 variants are among the first for which increased risk of obesity isn't observed until adulthood. mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/blog/2024/04/0… 🧵(1/6)
Great to see this out! Variant function, population genetics and animal models investigating the role of LXR alpha in liver health!

I am excited to share our latest paper nature where we construct a hi-res spatial map of the human hypothalamus, the brain region central in appetite control. It is a collaboration between Inst Metabolic Science-Metabolic Research Labs Cambridge University & Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research nature.com/articles/s4158…
