PhenoSign - Molecular Dynamic Insights
Do You Know Your Blood Glucose Level? You Probably Should! A single measurement is not enough to truly understand your metabolic health. Blood glucose levels fluctuate dynamically, and meaningful insights require continuous monitoring over time. But glucose is just one example. Many other molecular concentrations in the body are not static. Their variations are influenced by individual physiology and overall health. PhenoSign, a Swiss MedTech startup, is on a mission to become the leader in real-time molecular analysis of complex fluids, supporting clinical decision-making and life sciences applications. By providing real-time, in-situ molecular insights, we aim to advance medicine and transform life sciences research. This talk will provide an overview of PhenoSign’s journey since its inception in 2022—our achievements, challenges, and the strategic roadmap we are executing to shape the future of real-time molecular diagnostics.
Central representations of protein availability regulating appetite and body weight control
Dietary protein quantity and quality greatly impact metabolic health via evolutionary-conserved mechanisms that ensure avoidance of amino acid imbalanced food sources, promote hyperphagia when dietary protein density is low, and conversely produce satiety when dietary protein density is high. Growing evidence support the emerging concept of protein homeostasis in mammals, where protein intake is maintained within a tight range independently of energy intake to reach a target protein intake. The behavioural and neuroendocrine mechanisms underlying these adaptations are unclear and form the focus of our research.
