Leveraging inter-individual transcriptional correlation structure to infer discrete signaling mechanisms across metabolic tissues

Abstract excerpt

Inter-organ communication is a vital process to maintain physiologic homeostasis, and its dysregulation contributes to many human diseases. Given that circulating bioactive factors are stable in serum, occur naturally, and are easily assayed from blood, they present obvious focal molecules for therapeutic intervention and biomarker development. Recently, studies have shown that secreted proteins mediating...
