July 2022 in “Journal of the Endocrine Society” This study identified several rare genetic variants related to insulin resistance in women with PCOS, highlighting the potential for monogenic conditions in patients with extreme or atypical phenotypes.
February 2025 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” In this study, researchers identified significant differences in lipid composition between grey and black hair follicles in women with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls, suggesting these lipids may contribute to the production of grey hair and may offer targets for anti-grey-hair treatments.
February 2024 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that Pik3r1 Y657* mice, which model human SHORT syndrome, show increased energy expenditure despite insulin resistance, but this is not due to changes in locomotion, thermoregulation, or Ucp1-dependent thermogenesis, suggesting a different metabolic mechanism may protect against lipotoxicity.
