For decades, we’ve known that the ENPP1 K173Q variant raises type 2 diabetes risk, but not why. New work from @SongnanW in @li_lingyin's lab, in collaboration with @SvenssonLab, shows that this variant may promote metabolic dysfunction in brown adipose tissue.

This is so cool! Congrats Isha and team!

Instead of starting with a disease and searching for a drug…we started with a therapy (individual vitamin) and asked: which genetic diseases might they rescue? Essentially a new flavor of nutrigenomics.

Today we share a technical report demonstrating how our drug design engine achieves a step-change in accuracy for predicting biomolecular structures, more than doubling the performance of AlphaFold 3 on key benchmarks and unlocking rational drug design even for examples it has never seen before. Head to the comments to read our blog.

Out today from @StanfordPeds Endocrine Fellow #HectorOrtega & @SethASharp a state of the art review on polygenic risk scores (#PRS) in diabetes. This is your 101 on what we currently know about them and their application to understanding disease heterogeneity and clinical translation. @StanfordPeds @StanfordPedEndo @StanfordEndo @NIDDKgov Read here for free - rdcu.be/eprel 1/4
