Diminishing benefits of urban living for children and adolescents’ growth and development

The advantage of living in cities compared with rural areas with respect to height and BMI in children and adolescents has generally become smaller globally from 1990 to 2020, except in sub-Saharan Africa.

Global variation in diabetes diagnosis and prevalence based on fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c

Analysis of HbA1c and FPG levels across 117 population-based studies demonstrates regional variation in prevalence of previously undiagnosed screen-detected diabetes using one or both measures and suggests that use of elevated FPG alone could underestimate diabetes prevalence in low- and middle-income countries.

Myofibril and mitochondria morphogenesis are coordinated by a mechanical feedback mechanism in muscle

Mitochondria produce high amounts of ATP to power myosin motors and sustained muscle contraction. Here, the authors show that during development, muscles coordinate the morphogenesis of their myofibrils directly with their mitochondria to optimize both for the physiological needs of each muscle-type.

Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global obesity epidemic in adults

Contrary to the view that urbanization is a major driver of the global rise in obesity, the global increase in body-mass index is shown to be mostly due to increases in the body-mass indexes of rural populations.

Rab27a and Rab27b control different steps of the exosome secretion pathway

Exosome biogenesis is poorly understood. The small GTPases Rab27a and Rab27b and their effectors, Slp4 and Slac2b, control exosome secretion at different steps by regulating the peripheral localization, retention and docking of exosomal precursors, the multivesicular endosomes.

M1BP is an essential transcriptional activator of oxidative metabolism during Drosophila development

The transcriptional regulation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation gene expression is poorly understood. Using the developing Drosophila flight muscle, the authors identify the transcription factor M1BP as a new major regulator of this process.

Mapping routine measles vaccination in low- and middle-income countries

Although progress in the coverage of routine measles vaccination in children in low- and middle-income countries was made during 2000–2019, many countries remain far from the goal of 80% coverage in all districts by 2019.

Mapping local patterns of childhood overweight and wasting in low- and middle-income countries between 2000 and 2017

Fine-scale geospatial mapping of overweight and wasting (two components of the double burden of malnutrition) in 105 LMICs shows that overweight has increased from 5.2% in 2000 to 6.0% in children under 5 in 2017. Although overall wasting decreased over the same period, most countries are not on track to meet the World Health Organization’s Global Nutrition Target of <5% in over half of LMICs by 2025.

Phagosomal removal of fungal melanin reprograms macrophage metabolism to promote antifungal immunity

Macrophages undergo a Warburg-like switch from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis in response to inflammatory stimulus. Here the authors show that fungal melanin can trigger this switch in human macrophages by sequestering calcium in the phagosome and enabling protection against Aspergillus fumigatus infection.

SARS-CoV-2 introductions and early dynamics of the epidemic in Portugal

Borges et al. study the dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 in Portugal during 2020. The authors use phylodynamic modelling to infer patterns of SARS-CoV-2 introduction into Portugal and its subsequent spread, providing a comprehensive genomic epidemiology study of the early SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Portugal.
