Highlight articles

A researcher in a lab coat works at a microscope workstation while a monitor displays a close-up image of a stained zebrafish larva. The scene takes place in a laboratory with cables, a mouse, and other equipment on the bench.

Some highlights of the publications – reflecting the diversity of our research – are summarized here.

Highlights 2025

Young child in a blue jacket and gray cap holds up a freshly picked cherry tomato toward the camera. The scene is outdoors in a garden, and the cap is decorated with three masked cartoon faces.

Parenting style and practices can shape children's vegetable consumption

Children ate less vegetables when parents were more overprotective.

Close-up of a microscope’s objective lenses positioned above a glass slide on the stage. The image has a cool, clinical tone with a shallow depth of field, suggesting a laboratory or research setting.

Myosin inhibition partially rescues the myofibre proteome in X-linked myotubular myopathy

A glass hourglass with red sand sits on a newspaper as the sand flows from the top chamber to the bottom. The background is softly blurred, emphasizing the passage of time.

Frailty outperforms conventional risk factors for predicting complications and death in type 1 diabetes

A person holds a smartphone in one hand while gesturing with the other, wearing a wristwatch and a striped shirt. The background is blurred, suggesting a conversation or workplace setting.

Cognitive performance in late midlife as a predictor of frailty over 17 years: A longitudinal birth cohort study

Three blue-stained fish larvae are shown in side view against a white background, highlighting their eyes and internal structures. The specimens are arranged in three horizontal rows, each displaying a slightly different orientation.

Utilizing CRISPR-Cas13d-knockdown in zebrafish to study a rare monogenic bone fragility syndrome

Four older adults stand outdoors along a ramp with metal railings beside a wooden building. One person stands near the entrance door while the others are positioned along the railing.

Sense of community and social participation underlying active aging among senior housing residents

As people live longer, many move into senior housing communities where they can receive support while maintaining independence. But what actually helps older adults stay active and engaged in everyday life? This study explored how a sense of community and social participation are linked to active aging among residents in senior housing.
