While Edward B. (‘Ed’) Lewis is famous for his contributions to genetics and developmental
biology, few have read his research papers. One reason for this is availability,
many having been published in obscure journals or as book chapters. A second is
because his papers in those fields are very difficult to read. The...
Obesity and diabetes develop as a complex result of genetic, metabolic and environmental factors and are characterized by increased lipogenesis and lipid accumulation in many tissues. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) genes are a critical regulator of lipogenesis and catalyzes the synthesis of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), mainly oleoyl-...
