Integrative analysis of pathway deregulation in obesity
Obesity transcriptomic signature shares features with cancer The worldwide increase in obesity is extremely worrisome, especially because this condition is associated with a higher risk for diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cancer. Identifying alterations in regulatory and metabolic activities as...
