tried out Semantic Scholar, a new AI powered search engine just for scientific research. Really like it. Some nice info when you search MANF. Check out the bar chart on the right. Shows you just how MANF research has been picking up. And each article has measures of influence beneath it so you can see how many times it's sited etc.

Also helped me find this research from 2015 that I don't think anyone had brought up which identified the MANF gene and it's irregularity as the primary source of Type II diabetes via CES diagnostic http://sci-hub.io/10.1007/s00439-015-1575-0
