The paper identifies Dpp4+ preadipocytes in pre-wean mice and shows Igf2 promotes their expansion, which drives adipogenesis.

This study shows that oxytocin and cholecystokinin pathways in hypothalamic neurons are critical for gut-to-brain feeding control, with their disruption leading to hyperphagic obesity.

This study shows that a hypercaloric diet causes temporary molecular changes in astrocytes specifically in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus.
