The Golgi apparatus is a critical organelle responsible for intracellular trafficking and signaling, orchestrating essential processes such as protein and lipid sorting . Dysregulation of its function has been implicated in various pathologies, including obesity, diabetes, and cancer, highlighting its importance as a potential therapeutic target. Despite this, the development of tools to selectively target the Golgi in specific cell types remain a significant unmet challenge in imaging and drug discovery.

Obesity is a chronic disease that contributes to the development of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and cardiovascular risk. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor (GIPR) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP-1R) co-agonism provide an improved therapeutic profile in individuals with T2D and obesity when compared with selective GLP-1R agonism. Although the metabolic benefits of GLP-1R agonism are established, whether GIPR activation impacts weight loss through peripheral mechanisms is yet to be fully defined.

Application of the FOLFOX scheme to colorectal cancer (CRC) patients often results in the development of chemo-resistance, leading to therapy failure. This study aimed to develop a functional and easy-to-use algorithm to predict patients' response to FOLFOX treatment. Transcriptomic data of CRC patient's samples treated with FOLFOX were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database (GSE83129, GSE28702, GSE69657, GSE19860 and GSE41568).

Here, we show that PPARγ supports hypertrophic expansion of adipose tissue via transcriptional control of LPCAT3, a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase that enriches diet-derived omega-6 ( -6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the phospholipidome. In high-fat diet-fed mice, lowering membrane -6 PUFA levels by adipocyte-specific knockout ( ) or by dietary lipid manipulation leads to dysfunctional triglyceride (TG) storage, ectopic fat deposition and insulin resistance.

Increasing the response rates of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) presents a significant challenge. ESK981 is a multi-tyrosine kinase and PIKfyve lipid kinase inhibitor that augments immunotherapeutic responses. In this phase II study, ESK981 was combined with the PD-1 blocking monoclonal antibody nivolumab to test for potentially improved response rates in patients with mCRPC who have progressed on androgen receptor (AR)-targeted agents and chemotherapy.
