This paper identifies SLC25A34 as a key regulator of interorganellar lipid cycling, integrating circadian rhythms, diet, and temperature to control thermogenic metabolism.

The paper highlights the need for a unified multimodal approach to define cellular identity in the enteric nervous system using transcriptomic and other omics data.

This study derives Schwann cells from human pluripotent stem cells to model diabetic peripheral neuropathy and identify a drug candidate that rescues sensory function and prevents myelin damage.

The paper generates melanocytes from hPSCs through two distinct developmental trajectories and identifies T2-specific factors that promote melanoma metastasis.

This study develops hPSC-derived enteric ganglioids to model human ENS development and function, identifying drug candidates and PDGFR inhibition as key factors in NO neuron specification.
