    Blockade of glucagon signaling prevents or reverses diabetes onset only if residual β-cells persist

    Nicolas Damond, Fabrizio Thorel ... Pedro L Herrera
    Contrary to previous reports, a complete absence of glucagon signaling is not sufficient to prevent diabetes after near-total β-cell loss.

    Repression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 contributes to increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production in diabetes

    Xiaowei Zheng, Sampath Narayanan ... Sergiu-Bogdan Catrina
    The repression of HIF-1 plays a central role in mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction and subsequent tissue damage in diabetes, which is mediated by increased mitochondrial respiration, making HIF-1 signaling an attractive therapeutic target for diabetes complications.

    High glucose levels increase influenza-associated damage to the pulmonary epithelial-endothelial barrier

    Katina D Hulme, Limin Yan ... Kirsty R Short
    Hyperglycaemia increases influenza severity by damaging the pulmonary epithelial-endothelial barrier and increasing pulmonary oedema during Influenza A virus infection.

    Regulation of Nodal signaling propagation by receptor interactions and positive feedback

    Hannes Preiß, Anna C Kögler ... Patrick Müller
    A subset of the zebrafish Nodal receptor complex is regulated by positive feedback and controls the diffusion and distribution of Nodal signals during germ layer formation.

    Integration of genomics and transcriptomics predicts diabetic retinopathy susceptibility genes

    Andrew D Skol, Segun C Jung ... Michael A Grassi
    Integrating gene expression with genetic association data provided insights into the functional relevance of genetic risk for a complex disease, thus implicating folliculin as a putative diabetic retinopathy susceptibility gene.

    Structural heterogeneity of cellular K5/K14 filaments as revealed by cryo-electron microscopy

    Miriam S Weber, Matthias Eibauer ... Ohad Medalia
    Keratins assemble into tubular filaments with a central density and exhibit structural heterogeneity, which is reflected in alterations of the helical arrangement.

    Hedgehog signaling via Gli2 prevents obesity induced by high-fat diet in adult mice

    Yu Shi, Fanxin Long
    Targeted activation of Hedgehog signalling via Gli2 facilitated the reduction of high-fat-diet-induced obesity and improvement of whole-body glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity in adult mice.
