Targeting the hyaluronan-CD44/RHAMM pathway in obesity-related kidney damage
Obesity causes damage to the kidney, a disease called obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG). In normal health, protein is present in the blood from our diets and the kidney should only filter tiny amounts into the urine. Read more

How GABA neurones in the DVC control glucose metabolism
The Dorsal Vagal Complex (DVC) of the brain is an important regulator of glucose metabolism and food intake. The Nucleus of the Solitary Tract (NTS) in the DVC senses insulin and triggers a neuronal relay to decrease hepatic glucose production (HPG) in rodents. Read more
Weight stigma and health behaviours
