Making the GRADE: Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guidelines Get a Refresh
The growing incidence of a potentially cancer-causing liver disease in children is associated with prenatal exposure to several endocrine-disrupting chemicals, Mount Sinai researchers report. It is the first comprehensive study on the association of prenatal exposure and mixtures of these chemicals and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Mouse Study Finds FGF21 Directs Body’s Responses to Low-Protein Diet
Reducing the amount of protein in the diet produces an array of favorable health outcomes, including an extension of lifespan, and that these effects depend on Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21), according to a study recently published in Nature Communications.

New Study Makes Case for Culturing Embryos Up to Seven Days Post-Insemination for Selected Patients
Ending embryo culture at 144 hours (six days) post-insemination (h.p.i.) would involve 7.3 percent and 4.4 percent relative reductions in the number of patients obtaining euploid blastocysts and live birth(s) (LBs), respectively, according to a study published in Human Reproduction. The study results were announced recently by Fairtility, a company using artificial intelligence to enhance in...
