This paper shows indole, a gut microbial metabolite, improves glucose control by boosting GLP-1 secretion and L-cell differentiation in mice, suggesting it could be used as a therapeutic for type 2 diabetes.

The paper creates a spatio-cellular map of the mouse nodose ganglia using single nucleus RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics, revealing subtype-specific gene expression and spatial organization.

This study shows that enteropancreatic neurons expressing NTSR1 mediate olive oil's effect on glucose tolerance by stimulating insulin release.
