This study identifies a preoptic neuronal population that regulates energy expenditure and balance through daily activity patterns and metabolic responses.

This study shows that overexpressing NAMPT in adipocytes protects against metabolic dysfunction in male obese mice but not females, via improved interorgan communication and extracellular vesicle effects.

This study shows that inducing TFEB in Kupffer cells reduces cell death, lipid accumulation, and inflammation in MASLD.

This study shows that Mogat1 is important for adipocyte differentiation in vitro but not for adiposity or metabolic outcomes in mice on a high-fat diet.
