To read the full abstract: JAMA Pediatr. 2017;171:1176-1183Adolescence is certainly the most difficult age for reaching T1DM treatment and HbA1c goals. In this age group, most patients have deteriorated metabolic control, and higher risk for acute complications, such as severe hypoglycemia and DKA. Getting into therapeutic contact is very hard in this period of life for diabetes teams ...

First, it shows that its peripheral anti-obesity effects alone (without the central anorexic effects of amphetamine) are sufficient to achieve...

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...
