    Robust single-nucleus RNA sequencing reveals depot-specific cell population dynamics in adipose tissue remodeling during obesity

    Jisun So, Olivia Strobel ... Hyun Cheol Roh
    Significant technical improvement in single-nucleus RNA-seq reveals distinct adipocyte subpopulations that respond differently to obesity, including those undergoing adaptive healthy expansion and others displaying severe dysfunction.

    Determining the effects of paternal obesity on sperm chromatin at histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation in relation to the placental transcriptome and cellular composition

    Anne-Sophie Pepin, Patrycja A Jazwiec ... Sarah Kimmins
    Epigenomic and transcriptomic analysis reveals that paternal obesity influences sperm histone H3 lysine 4 tri-methylation enrichment and placenta gene expression, which in turn negatively impact its development and function in a manner that may contribute to metabolic disease in offspring.
