AI Article Synopsis
- Acquired generalized lipodystrophy (AGL) is a rare condition marked by the loss of body fat and various metabolic issues, often starting in childhood or adolescence.
- There are three types of AGL: type 1 involves panniculitis, type 2 is related to autoimmune diseases, and type 3 is idiopathic (unknown cause).
- This report discusses a specific case of type 1 AGL in a healthy 3-year-old girl who showed symptoms like red subcutaneous nodules, fat loss, and findings consistent with lobular panniculitis.
Article Abstract
Acquired generalized lipodystrophy (AGL) is a rare disease characterized by variable loss of adipose tissue and concurrent metabolic derangements, typically with childhood or adolescent onset. AGL has three subclassifications: panniculitis (type 1), autoimmune disease (type 2), and idiopathic (type 3). This report highlights a rare case of AGL type 1 in a previously healthy 3-year-old female who presented with diffuse erythematous subcutaneous nodules, progressive lipoatrophy, and histopathological findings of a lobular panniculitis.

Teravoxel-scale, cellular-resolution images of cleared rodent brains acquired with light-sheet fluorescence microscopy have transformed the way we study the brain. Realizing the potential of this technology requires computational pipelines that generalize across experimental protocols and map neuronal activity at the laminar and subpopulation-specific levels, beyond atlas-defined regions. Here, we present artficial intelligence-based cartography of ensembles (ACE), an end-to-end pipeline that employs three-dimensional deep learning segmentation models and advanced cluster-wise statistical algorithms, to enable unbiased mapping of local neuronal activity and connectivity.

Background: Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) signaling blockade by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) effectively restores immune surveillance to treat melanoma. However, chronic interferon-gamma (IFNγ)-induced immune homeostatic responses in melanoma cells contribute to immune evasion and acquired resistance to ICI. Poly ADP ribosyl polymerase 14 (PARP14), an IFNγ-responsive gene product, partially mediates IFNγ-driven resistance.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are generated in all cells. Systemic administration of allogenic EVs derived from epithelial and mesenchymal cells has been shown to be safe, despite carrying an array of functional molecules, including thousands of proteins. To address whether epithelial cell-derived EVs can be modified to acquire the capacity to induce an immune response, we engineered 293T EVs to harbor the immunomodulatory molecules CD80, OX40L, and PD-L1.

Background: Seafarers are exposed to a variety of job-specific physical and psychosocial stressors. Health promotion on board is of great importance for the salutogenesis of this occupational group. Due to the difficult accessibility of seafarers, electronically supported health management can be highly valuable.
