Congratulations to our amazing Endocrine Images art competition winners! Come see the beauty of endocrine research on display at ENDO Central. bit.ly/42TQdRU#ENDO2026@TheEndoSociety
Italian researchers' image of pre-adipocyte cell wins
@TheEndoSociety's Endocrine Images Art Competition and will be displayed at #ENDO2026. bit.ly/42TQdRU
ALT The immunofluorescence image depicts the cellular architecture of a murine pre-adipocyte used in a project aimed at investigating the role of the protein kinase CK2 in adipose tissue biology.
Jennifer Miller at #ENDO2026: In PWS – “we don’t count calories, we respect calories.” Hypothalamic insulin resistance drives hyperphagia. Vykat XR works via increases cognitive flexibility reduces peripheral insulin. @TheEndoSociety#ENDO2026#PraderWilli#PedsEndo
Ada Weinstock at #ENDO2026: CD16a KO reduces efferocytosis. CD16a knockdown in adipose macrophages impairs clearance of necrotic cores. Surprisingly – weight loss on a high fat diet has NO beneficial cardiovascular effect without it. @TheEndoSociety#ENDO2026#Endocrinology
Carey Lumeng at #ENDO2026: adipose tissue plays a key role in growth. 5 macrophage subtypes in fat – each distinct even when close in proximity. GWAS shows adipocytes drive fasting insulin waist-hip ratio. VAT vs SAT have distinct TFs @TheEndoSociety#ENDO2026#Obesity
Anthony Farrante at #ENDO2026: searching for novel adipokines preventing weight gain. Leptin is NOT the hormone of overfeeding. Adipose tissue macrophages extracellular vesicles regulate local lipid homeostasis. @TheEndoSociety#ENDO2026#Obesity#Endocrinology
