    Hormone-sensitive lipase couples intergenerational sterol metabolism to reproductive success

    Christoph Heier, Oskar Knittelfelder ... Ronald P Kühnlein
    An ancestral enzyme tailors allocation of essential lipid resources to the progeny and connects maternal and embryonic sterol metabolism for reproductive success.

    Ether lipid biosynthesis promotes lifespan extension and enables diverse pro-longevity paradigms in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Lucydalila Cedillo, Fasih M Ahsan ... Alexander A Soukas
    Increased production of ether lipids is required to extend lifespan in response to metformin, phenformin, and multiple, distinct, longevity-promoting manipulations, illuminating the possibility that raising ether lipid levels represents a new therapeutic strategy to support healthy aging.

    A mouse model of human mitofusin-2-related lipodystrophy exhibits adipose-specific mitochondrial stress and reduced leptin secretion

    Jake P Mann, Xiaowen Duan ... David B Savage
    The p.Arg707Trp mutation in Mfn2 causes adipose-specific activation of the integrated stress response, which lowers secretion of adipokines.

    Drp1 is required for AgRP neuronal activity and feeding

    Sungho Jin, Nal Ae Yoon ... Sabrina Diano
    Mitochondrial fission, associated with fatty acids oxidation, is fundamental for AgRP neuronal activity during negative energy balance and in regulating fasting- and/or ghrelin-induced feeding.

    Endocrine remodelling of the adult intestine sustains reproduction in Drosophila

    Tobias Reiff, Jake Jacobson ... Irene Miguel-Aliaga
    A hormone released after mating acts directly on adult intestinal progenitors and differentiated epithelial cells in Drosophila to change their homeostatic setpoint and maximise fecundity.

    Time-varying and tissue-dependent effects of adiposity on leptin levels: A Mendelian randomization study

    Tom G Richardson, Genevieve M Leyden, George Davey Smith
    Leveraging time-varying and tissue-dependent genetic instruments into Mendelian randomization studies may help develop insight over more conventional applications.

    miR-125-chinmo pathway regulates dietary restriction-dependent enhancement of lifespan in Drosophila

    Manish Pandey, Sakshi Bansal ... Geetanjali Chawla
    miR-125 functions as a potential dietary restriction mimetic by promoting longevity through regulation of fat metabolism.

    DNA damage signaling in Drosophila macrophages modulates systemic cytokine levels in response to oxidative stress

    Fabian Hersperger, Tim Meyring ... Katrin Kierdorf
    Immune activation in Drosophila macrophages during oxidative stress is regulated by DNA damage signaling, which controls proinflammatory cytokine release and the susceptibility of the fly to oxidative stress.

    E2F/Dp inactivation in fat body cells triggers systemic metabolic changes

    Maria Paula Zappia, Ana Guarner ... Maxim V Frolov
    The E2F/Dp transcription factors, which are key cell cycle regulators, can also mediate the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in larva by controlling both systemic trehalose homeostasis and fat storage.

    Genetic architecture of 11 organ traits derived from abdominal MRI using deep learning

    Yi Liu, Nicolas Basty ... Madeleine Cule
    Systematic quantification of abdominal organ health parameters using deep learning generates new insights into the genetic architecture of cardiometabolic health traits.
