To read the full abstract: Cell Rep 2019; 27(5): 1528–40These authors used FACS cell sorting, gene expression profiling, and metabolic and proteomic analyses to identify three distinct adipocyte progenitor cell (APCs) subtypes that reside in human white adipose tissues. Although they retain comparable differentiation capacity, they have different molecular profiles and give rise to ...

Brief Summary: This translational study reveals a novel mechanism underlying syndromic gonadal dysgenesis (GD). It introduces a condition termed INDYGON syndrome (Intellectual disability, Neurodevelopmental defects and Developmental delay with 46,XY GONadal dysgenesis).46,XY gonadal dysgenesis (GD) is a rare disorder of sex development (DSD) affecting 1-9 per 100,000 live births.
