   Association of egg consumption, metabolic markers, and risk of cardiovascular diseases: A nested case-control study

   Lang Pan et al.

   The associations of egg consumption with metabolic markers and of these markers with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk showed opposite directions, which may partially explain the protective effect of moderate egg consumption on CVD in the Chinese population.

   Unbiased proteomics, histochemistry, and mitochondrial DNA copy number reveal better mitochondrial health in muscle of high-functioning octogenarians

   Ceereena Ubaida-Mohien et al.

   Skeletal muscle from world-class octogenarian athletes, representing a population with very high physical function in advanced age, exhibits greater mass and strength that is associated with overrepresentation of proteins involved in mitochondrial biology and more oxidatively competent muscle fibers.

   Early life infection and proinflammatory, atherogenic metabolomic and lipidomic profiles in infancy: a population-based cohort study

   Toby Mansell et al.

   More parent-reported infections in the first year of life were associated with metabolic differences linked with cardiovascular and metabolic disease in adulthood, with observational evidence for inflammation partly mediating this relationship.

   Mendelian randomization suggests a bidirectional, causal relationship between physical inactivity and adiposity

   Germán D Carrasquilla et al.

   Bidirectional causal relationship between higher sedentary time and higher adiposity suggests that decreasing sedentary time is beneficial for weight management, but also that weight loss may help reduce sedentary time.

   William S Hart et al.

   Updated estimates of the generation time of SARS-CoV-2 infections indicate that the generation time has become shorter.

    The repurposing of Tebipenem pivoxil as alternative therapy for severe gastrointestinal infections caused by extensively drug-resistant Shigella spp

    Elena Fernández Álvaro et al.

    The oral carbapenem 'Tebipenem' has high level antibacterial activity against highly drug-resistant Shigella, and its mode of action and pharmacokinetics make it suitable for the treatment of severe diarrhoea caused by highly drug-resistant bacteria.
