Front Genet. 2022 Mar 3;13:736988. PMID: 35309143, doi: 10.3389/fgene.2022.736988.Brief Summary: This molecular study highlights a novel mechanism of action of Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 1 (MAP3K1) in the development of testicular dysgenesis.MAP3K1 is one of the most common genes that has been identified to cause 46, XY DSD and variants are attribu...

Abstract: Nature. 2019 Mar;567(7747):234–238.In brief: In this article, the authors present evidence that the murine epiphyseal growth plate develops a postnatal stem cell niche with monoclonal properties, that are able to self-renew. They thereby challenge the concept of a continous depletion of progenitor cells as a limiting factor for bone growth.<p class="abste...

To read the full abstract: Nature 2017;550:255-259Loss of appetite, and even aversion to food, is a common experience during periods of illness (e.g. infection and pyrexia) and/or treatment (e.g. chemotherapy). This responses is distinct from the body’s homeostatic mechanisms (the hypothalamic leptin receptor-AGRP-POMC-MC4R axis), which normally regulate appetite and weight gain in ch...
