Impaired expression of mitochondrial and adipogenic genes in adipose tissue from a patient with acquired partial lipodystrophy (Barraquer-Simons syndrome): a case report

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2008
Introduction Acquired partial lipodystrophy or Barraquer-Simons syndrome is a rare form of progressive lipodystrophy. The etiopathogenesis of adipose tissue atrophy in these patients is unknown.

Canonical and non‐canonical functions of proteins regulating mitochondrial dynamics in mammalian physiology

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Deciphering the Presence of Active Interscapular Brown Adipose Tissue in Humans

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is increasingly recognized as a metabolically active tissue in humans, although its physiological relevance remains incompletely understood. In rodents, BAT is well characterized, with interscapular BAT (iBAT) representing the main thermogenic depot.

Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome 1 (MTDPS1)—A Novel Cause of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency

open access: yesClinical Genetics, Volume 109, Issue 4, Page 784-787, April 2026.
We describe a woman with MNGIE due to a novel homozygous TYMP nonsense variant and propose MNGIE as the cause of her premature ovarian insufficiency—a rarely reported association—highlighting the need to consider mitochondrial disease in unexplained POI, especially in atypical, consanguineous presentations. ABSTRACT Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome

Lipid Droplet‐Localized Spindle Apparatus Coiled‐Coil Protein 1 Regulates Lipid Droplet Distribution

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
SPDL1‐L, a long isoform of SPDL1, is identified as a bona fide lipid droplet‐associated protein that acts as a dynein adaptor to drive perinuclear clustering of lipid droplets. By linking lipid droplets to the microtubule network, SPDL1‐L extends the function of SPDL1 beyond mitosis and contributes to lipid droplet organization and nuclear remodeling ...

Congenital Generalized Lipoatrophy (Berardinelli-Seip Syndrome) Type 1: Description of Novel AGPAT2 Homozygous Variants Showing the Highly Heterogeneous Presentation of the Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
Berardinelli-Seip congenital lipoatrophy (BSCL) is characterized by near total fat atrophy, associated with the progressive development of metabolic complications. BSCL type 1 (BSCL1) is caused by mutations in AGPAT2, encoding 1-acylglycerol-3phosphate-O-
