The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant morbidity and mortality. Spike messenger RNA (mRNA)-based vaccines against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 may contribute to immune-mediated injuries. Here we present a case of a previously healthy 47-year-old man, who developed progressive jaundice 2 weeks after receiving his 3 COVID-19 vaccination (1 mRNA-based vaccine).

Loss of GIPR in LEPR cells impairs glucose control by GIP and GIP:GLP-1 co-agonism without affecting body weight and food intake in mice.

Objective: The glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) decreases body weight via central GIP receptor (GIPR) signaling, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we assessed whether GIP regulates body weight and glucose control via GIPR signaling in cells that express the leptin receptor (Lepr).

Methods: Hypothalamic, hindbrain, and pancreatic co-expression of Gipr and Lepr was assessed using single cell RNAseq analysis.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by an autoimmune process which culminates in the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. It is widely believed that a complex and multifactorial interplay between genetic and environmental factors, such as viruses, play a crucial role in the development of the disease. Research over the past few decades has shown that there is not one single viral culprit, nor one single genetic pathway, causing the disease.

Article Synopsis
  • Spectral computed tomography (SCT) enables the calculation of iodine content (IC) to help characterize hypervascularized neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) for better staging.
  • A study involving 26 patients with metastasized NETs assessed the relationship between SCT-derived IC values and tumor response over a median follow-up of 64 weeks.
  • Results showed that higher IC in lymphonodular metastases correlated with reduced disease progression, while patterns in liver and pancreatic metastases were less clear after accounting for other factors like treatment and tumor grade.
