The selective breakdown by autophagy of lipid droplet (LD)-stored lipids, termed lipophagy, is a lysosomal lipolytic pathway that complements the actions of cytosolic neutral lipases. The physiological importance of lipophagy has been demon...

The endoplasmic reticulum (EnR) stress sensor, the unfolded protein response (UPR), plays a key role in regulating intracellular protein homeostasis. The extensively studied reactive mode of UPR activation is characterized by unfolded prote...
Activating Calcium-Sensing Receptor Mutations: Prospects for Future Treatment with Calcilytics [0.03%]

Activating mutations of the G protein-coupled receptor, calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR), cause autosomal dominant hypocalcemia and Bartter syndrome type 5. These mutations lower the set-point for extracellular calcium sensing, thereby causi...

Prohibitin (PHB) was discovered in a quest to find genes with antiproliferative functions. However, the attribute of PHB that is responsible for its antiproliferative function remains elusive. Meanwhile, recent studies have established PHB ...

PTEN is a critical tumor suppressor whose dysregulation leads to metabolic disease and cancer. How these diseases are linked at a molecular level is poorly understood. Maf1 is a novel PTEN target that connects PTEN's ability to repress intr...

Upon activation, brown and beige adipocytes help to fight excessive fat in rodents, and their oxidative properties can be induced by cooling, capsinoids, and fish oil. New research now suggests that synergistic anti-obesity effects can be a...

Stem or progenitor cells are an essential component for the development, homeostasis, expansion, and regeneration of many tissues. Within white adipose tissue (WAT) reside vascular-resident adipose progenitor cells (APCs) that can prolifera...

Diabetes mellitus is a frequent complication of acromegaly, a disease characterized by chronic hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) by a pituitary adenoma. Diabetes occurs commonly but not only as a consequence of an insulin-resistant stat...

Ovarian function is central to female fertility, and several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been carried out to elucidate the genetic background of traits and disorders that reflect and affect ovarian physiology. While GWAS hav...
