doi:10.1038/s41591-018-0132-5

Antibiotic treatment of SIV-infected nonhuman primates shows that inducing bacterial dysbiosis in the gut—similar to that seen in HIV infection—does not promote disease progression, questioning its potential role in progression to HIV/AIDS.

Claire Vinel, Laura Lukjanenko, Aurelie Batut, Simon Deleruyelle, Jean-Philippe Pradère et al.
doi:10.1038/s41591-018-0131-6

The muscle-secreted, exercise-induced peptide hormone apelin decreases with aging and sarcopenia, and its repletion in aged mice with recombinant protein improves muscle mass and function.

 

Cold-induced epigenetic programming of the sperm enhances brown adipose tissue activity in the offspring    pp1372 - 1383
Wenfei Sun, Hua Dong, Anton S. Becker, Dianne H. Dapito, Salvatore Modica et al.

Metformin inhibits gluconeogenesis via a redox-dependent mechanism in vivo    pp1384 - 1394
Anila K. Madiraju, Yang Qiu, Rachel J. Perry, Yasmeen Rahimi, Xian-Man Zhang et al.
doi:10.1038/s41591-018-0125-4

Using 13C-labeled substrates in vivo, this group shows that metformin inhibits mG3PDH to reduce hepatic gluconeogenesis and lower glycemia by altering the redox potential of the cytosol of hepatocytes rather than affecting substrate availability.

 

Metformin reduces liver glucose production by inhibition of fructose-1-6-bisphosphatase    pp1395 - 1406
Roger W. Hunter, Curtis C. Hughey, Louise Lantier, Elias I. Sundelin, Mark Peggie et al.
doi:10.1038/s41591-018-0159-7

The antidiabetic action of metformin raises heptocyte intracellular AMP levels, causing allosteric inhibition of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and thus reductions in gluconeogenesis.

doi:10.1038/s41591-018-0135-2

Patients with glioblastoma experience lymphopenia and sequestration of T cells in the bone marrow, which is recapitulated in mice with brain tumors, where the reversible nature of this effect is demonstrated by an approach that enables the efficacy of other immunotherapeutics.

Darren K. Patten, Giacomo Corleone, Balázs Győrffy, Ylenia Perone, Neil Slaven et al.
