Hippo-YAP/TAZ signalling coordinates adipose plasticity and energy balance by uncoupling leptin expression from fat mass

Johan Auwerx, Xiaoxu Li, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Jun Yong Kim, Yoo Hoon Kim

Adipose tissues serve as an energy reservoir and endocrine organ, yet the mechanisms that coordinate these functions remain elusive. Here, we show that the transcriptional coregulators, YAP and TAZ, uncouple fat mass from leptin levels and regulate adipocy ...

New ingredients for old recipes

Didier Trono, Filipe Amândio Brandão Sanches Vong Martins, Olga Marie Louise Rosspopoff

The pancreas is an essential organ present in all vertebrates, and human pancreatic agenesis is an extremely rare disorder of largely unknown genetic determinants. A study now demonstrates that a primate-specific regulatory network controlled by the KRAB z ...

Regulation and function of a hemicleaved Activin-A processing intermediate in melanoma

Manon Bulliard

Activin-A is a Transforming Growth Factor-B (TGFB)-related cytokine that regulates various biological processes including cell proliferation and differentiation through autocrine, paracrine or endocrine signaling. Activin-A expression is upregulated in mul ...

Neural Annotation Refinement: Development of a New 3D Dataset for Adrenal Gland Analysis

Pascal Fua, Jiancheng Yang, Pamuditha Udaranga Wickramasinghe, Rui Shi

The human annotations are imperfect, especially when produced by junior practitioners. Multi-expert consensus is usually regarded as golden standard, while this annotation protocol is too expensive to implement in many real-world projects. In this study, w ...

Kidney-Specific CAP1/Prss8-Deficient Mice Maintain ENaC-Mediated Sodium Balance through an Aldosterone Independent Pathway

Simona Frateschi

The serine protease prostasin (CAP1/Prss8, channel-activating protease-1) is a confirmed in vitro and in vivo activator of the epithelial sodium channel ENaC. To test whether proteolytic activity or CAP1/Prss8 abundance itself are required for ENaC activat ...

New approaches to uncover the minimally functional hematopoietic niche using the adipocytic differentiation axis: pharmacological modulation and adrenal niche induction

Frédérica Schyrr

Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells (HSPCs) reside in their niche, a structure that regulates the balance of cellular quiescence, self-renewal and commitment towards differentiated cells. This highly plastic niche is formed by several cellular players, ...

Extended gate field-effect-transistor for sensing cortisol stress hormone

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Junrui Zhang, Hoël Maxime Guérin, Luca Capua, Sadegh Kamaei Bahmaei, Shokoofeh Sheibani, Sayedeh Shirin Afyouni Akbari

Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress and is a major glucocorticoid produced by adrenal glands. Here, we report a wearable sensory electronic chip using label-free detection, based on a platinum/graphene aptamer extended gate field effect tr ...

The adipokine NimrodB5 regulates peripheral hematopoiesis in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Jean Philippe Boquete, Jan Paul Dudzic, Elodie Julie Virginie Ramond, Bianca Marie Petrignani

In animals, growth is regulated by the complex interplay between paracrine and endocrine signals. When food is scarce, tissues compete for nutrients, leading to critical resource allocation and prioritization. Little is known about how the immune system ma ...

Thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas: a systematic review and meta-analysis of postoperative outcomes and management

Katarzyna Pierzchala

PurposeTSH-secreting pituitary adenomas are rare pituitary tumors. An efficient treatment is essential to limit the mortality and morbidity in untreated patients. The aim of this study is to summarize the evidence about the postoperative outcomes and manag ...

The role of the transcriptional regulator BCL6 in adipose tissue development and remodeling

Teresa Didonna

The adipose tissue is increasingly recognized for the important role it plays in various diseases and pathological conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, cancer, and aging. Despite its long-held reputation for being a ...
