To read the full abstract: PLoS One. 2018;13:e0191360Up to now most studies to prevent autoimmune T1DM have focused on directly suppressing the autoimmune response rather than to better understanding the intrinsic requirements for beta cell survival. In this trial intracellular heparan sulfate was investigated as an essential requirement for the survival of beta cells and a marker for beta...

11.7. Genetic mapping of etiologic brain cell types for obesity

PN Timshel , JJ Thompson , TH Pers

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...
