Cell Rep Med 2022;3:100598. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35492248/Brief Summary: This study used a combination of mice models and cultured human islets to show that a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and estrogen (E2) dual agonist (GLP1-E2) provides superior protection from insulin-deficient diabetes compared to GLP-1 and E2 monoagonists. Pancreatic islet protection...

To read the full abstract: Eur J Endocrinol. 2018 Apr;178(4):377-388[Comments on 7.7 and 7.8] Familial self-limited delayed puberty is highly heritable and has a clear genetic basis as described in the review written by Sasha Howard. Recent studies suggest that the genetic basis of self-limited delayed puberty is likely to be highly heteroge...
