To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2017; 102 (8): 2670-2677These case reports lead to an important conclusion which changes our diagnostic work-up of early-onset childhood obesity. The authors shows that thorough work-up of clinical cohorts, combined with genetic and epigenetic analyses, can define new characteristic features of known disorders. PHP1A, and surprisingly also PHP1B,...

Cell. 2021 Mar 4;184(5):1330–1347.e13 Abstract: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33636130/In brief: This paper reports an alternative cell fate for multinucleated, bone-resorbing osteoclasts and shows that they may undergo fission into smaller osteomorphs. The findings challenge the current dogma that osteoclasts primarily differentiate from hematopoietic progenitor cells and a...
