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...

In Brief: The authors describe a wide range of studies. Firstly, observational studies showed that circulating taurine concentrations decline with age in mice, monkeys, and humans – and in the latter, low taurine was associated with metabolic disease (abdominal fat, blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes). They then gave oral taurine to mice throughout their lives and showed that this increased lifespan by 10–12% and improved functional outcomes of almost all tissues studie...

To read the full abstract: Gastroenterology. 2017 Sep;153(3):711-722In adults, prebiotic intake is associated with improvements in satiety, postprandial glucose and insulin concentrations (1). The effect of prebiotic intervention in overweight/obese children has been rarely studied. This clinical trial showed that supplementation with oligofructose-enriched inulin for 16 weeks decreased BM...

To read the full abstract: Am J Med Genet A. 2016 Nov;170(11):2927-2933The vast majority of proteins that a cell secretes or displays on its surface first enter the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they fold and assemble. Only properly assembled proteins advance from the ER to the cell surface. The ER coordinates protein biosynthetic and secretory activities in the cell. Alterations in ER homeost...
