The paper identifies hyper-proliferation of adipose progenitors in offspring of obese mothers as a mechanism for early-onset obesity and increased adipocyte number.

This study shows that Npas4 in POMC neurons regulates food intake during obesity by modulating inhibitory GABA-A receptor expression and neuronal activity.

The paper profiles calcium-regulated gene expression in human pancreatic islet cells using single-cell RNA sequencing and identifies PCDH7 as a novel beta cell marker with enhanced insulin secretory function.

The paper uses scRNA-seq to identify trophoblast states and lineage trajectories in first trimester placentas, finding BCAM as a marker of a primitive progenitor state.
