Metabolic rewiring at the obesity–estrogen–polyamine axis in endometrial cancer: emerging mechanisms and translational opportunities

Endometrial cancer is one of the gynecologic malignancies most strongly associated with obesity, yet the biological basis of this association extends beyond excess adiposity as a risk factor. Obesity reshapes the endometrial ecosystem through peripheral estrogen excess, progesterone imbalance, insulin resistance, adipo...

Adipose Tissue Expandability as a Link Between Nutrition and Obesity-Related Metabolic Risk: Insights from Bariatric Surgery

Adipose tissue expandability refers to the capacity of white adipose tissue to store excess energy safely while preserving metabolic homeostasis. This adaptive response takes place via both an increase in adipocyte number (hyperplasia) and size (hypertrophy). Healthy expansion requires coordinated angiogenesis, extrace...

Local thermal anomalies and the altitudinal rise of dengue hospitalisation rates in Ecuador, 2011–2024: a national ecological study

Introduction Dengue is expanding beyond its traditional lowland range as rising temperatures may enable Aedes aegypti establishment at progressively higher altitudes. Ecuador, spanning sea level to above 4500 m, offers a natural altitudinal experiment, yet hospital-based evidence on the thermal drivers of Andean dengue...
