Read MoreCD8 + Memory T Cells Encode Obesogenic Memory in White Adipose Tissue
Obesity is associated with systemic energy imbalance and leads to a wide range of metabolic complications, including type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and cardiovascular disorders. Therapeutic strategies for obesity, including lifestyle interventions such as exercise and dietary modification, bariatric surgery, and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, have been widely implemented (1). However, rapid weight […]

Read MoreBiallelic Pathogenic Variants in IL2RA Cause Neonatal-Onset Monogenic Autoimmune Diabetes
Autoimmune diabetes presenting in infancy or with additional autoimmune disorders can be the result of highly penetrant variants in key immune homeostasis genes. An example of this is observed with biallelic pathogenic variants in IL2RA (CD25), which causes immunodeficiency 41 (IMD41). IL2RA encodes the α-chain of the interleukin-2 receptor, which helps regulate the growth and […]
Read MoreEffects of Pancreatic Resection on Liver Fat Content and Amino Acid, Lipid, and Glucose Metabolism: A Prospective 1-Year Follow-up Study
Individuals who undergo pancreatic resection are at increased risk of developing hepatic steatosis. Glucagon is a key regulator of hepatic glucose, amino acids, and lipid metabolism, and the change in circulating glucagon is suggested to contribute to the pathogenesis of postoperative steatotic liver disease. Here, we aimed to elucidate hepatic and metabolic changes induced by […]
Read MoreANGPTL4 Induces Aberrant Lymphatic-Like Remodeling in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults and often progresses to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) with irreversible complications. Anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy remains the first-line treatment; however, resistance poses a significant challenge, necessitating alternative therapeutic targets. This study explores the role of angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) in […]
