The paper develops an in vitro model of human subcutaneous adipocyte spheroids to study mitochondrial dysfunction and test mitochondria-activating compounds in obesity.

This study evaluates unsupervised clustering methods for segmenting dynamic total-body PET images at the organ level, finding that k-means with PCA performs best but still has limited accuracy.

This study investigates how secretin induces satiation by modulating brain glucose metabolism and neural activity through the BAT-brain axis in humans.

This study identifies AATBC as a human-specific lncRNA that regulates adipocyte plasticity and mitochondrial function, linking it to metabolic health.

This study identifies HAND2 as an obesity-linked adipogenic transcription factor regulated by glucocorticoids, showing its role in adipocyte differentiation and its correlation with BMI in humans.
