Journal ArticleDOI

Adipocyte death defines macrophage localization and function in adipose tissue of obese mice and humans

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that >90% of all macrophages in WAT of obese mice and humans are localized to dead adipocytes, where they fuse to form syncytia that sequester and scavenge the residual “free” adipocyte lipid droplet and ultimately form multinucleate giant cells, a hallmark of chronic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A combined syndrome of juvenile polyposis and hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia associated with mutations in MADH4 (SMAD4).

TL;DR: Patients with juvenile polyposis who have an MADH4 mutation should be screened for the vascular lesions associated with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia, especially occult arteriovenous malformations in visceral organs that may otherwise present suddenly with serious medical consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a gene causing human cytochrome c oxidase deficiency by integrative genomics

TL;DR: Data sets of RNA and protein expression are used to identify the gene causing Leigh syndrome, French-Canadian type (LSFC), a human cytochrome c oxidase deficiency that maps to chromosome 2p16-21, providing definitive genetic proof that LRPPRC indeed causes LSFC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathways and control of ketone body metabolism: on the fringe of lipid biochemistry.

TL;DR: Consideration of ketone body metabolism reveals the mechanisms underlying the extreme fragility of dietary ketosis to carbohydrate intake and highlights areas for further study.
