This study shows that Steap2 is essential for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in mice by maintaining mitochondrial function in pancreatic beta-cells.

This study evaluates the mouse neural precursor cell line SN4741 as a proxy for midbrain dopaminergic neurons using genomic techniques and finds it lacks key dopaminergic markers and chromatin features.

This study shows that FoxA factors are essential for maintaining the hepatic gene regulatory network in adult mice, as their loss leads to rapid hepatocyte dedifferentiation and lethality.

The paper identifies Parkinson's risk variants in a SNCA enhancer by analyzing open chromatin in mouse dopamine neurons and validates their function in zebrafish and mice.
