Going viral in the islet: mediators of SARS-CoV-2 entry beyond ACE2
Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Following initial infection of airway epithelia, SARS-CoV-2 invades a wide range of cells in multiple organs, including pancreatic islet cells. Diabetes is now recognised as a risk factor for severe COVID-19 outcomes, including hospitalisation and death. Additionally, COVID-19 is associated with a higher risk of new-onset diabetes and metabolic complications of diabetes.

High fat feeding unmasks variable insulin responses in male C57BL/6 mouse substrains
Mouse models are widely used for elucidating mechanisms underlying type 2 diabetes. Genetic background profoundly affects metabolic phenotype; therefore selecting the appropriate model is critical. While variability in metabolic responses between mouse strains is now well-recognized, it also occurs within C57BL/6 mice, of which several substrains exist. This within-strain variability is poorly understood, and could emanate from genetic and/or environmental differences.
