eLife 2020;9:e55851. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32955435/Timshel et al. describe a novel strategy for integrating single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) data with GWAS data on BMI associated genetic variants, and thereby identify 26 exclusively neuronal cell types that are significantly enriched for BMI heritability.The authors developed two scRNA-seq computation...

Brief summary: Emont et al. created a cell atlas of human and mouse white adipose tissue, which goes a long way in informing our understanding of the complexity of adipose tissue.Although adipocytes make up the largest proportion of adipose tissue volume, the cellular structure of adipose tissue is far more complex and includes adipose tissue progenitor cells (APCs), fibroblasts, vascular cells and immune cells. We are also beginning to understa...
