#NatMetabPicks | In Science Magazine led by Martin. Jastroch (Stockholm University): The study describes the evolutionary origin of UCP1, the protein that mediates thermogenesis in the brown adipose tissue. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I am deeply honored and humbled to receive this prestigious Young Investigator Award from Chinese American Diabetes Association. Also, congrats to Yanyu and all other trainees for receiving their awards👏👏👏. Great meeting with great science!!

Please RT: We are in search of administrative staff for our lab in Boston! hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

Macrophage-derived chemokine CCL22 and its receptor CCR4 play a pivotal role in facilitating thermogenesis in response to cold Science Advances Yuwei Jiang science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Very happy to share our new publication Science Advances showing that the CCL22-CCR4 axis plays a pivotal role in facilitating thermogenesis in response to cold. Congrats to all authors👏👏👏 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Daniel Berry, assistant professor Nutritional Sciences at Cornell, and graduate students have identified the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern adaptive thermogenesis, a biological process that researchers believe could be the key to treating metabolic disorders. bit.ly/4eIunFN

The @ColoffLab, co-lead of our #CancerBiology #Research Program, is corresponding author of a paper in JCI insight that includes University of Illinois College of Medicine Dept. of Physiology & Biophysics authors, including Vipin Singh Rawat, PhD, mentored by Coloff & study 1st author. bit.ly/4cWSWgm

Brown fat is a cool system for learning new about mitochondria. Choline is an important nutrient, and its metabolism involves import into the mitochondrial matrix. How does Choline get there? Check out our new paper by Tony Verkerke and colleagues! cell.com/cell-metabolis…

UIC Physiology Congratulations to Dr. Yuwei Jiang on the promotion to the rank of Associate Professor on Indefinite Tenure. Yuwei joined the UIC faculty in 2019 and quickly established a lab investigating adipose stem cells and their role in physiology and disease. Yuwei Jiang

Tenured. I am deeply grateful for the great support I’ve received from family, friends, colleagues, and mentors along the way.

Friday, September 13 - UIC Physiology Seminar Series welcomes Daniel C. Berry, PhD, Daniel Berry, from Cornell University to present “Fueling the Fire: Defining the Brown Fat Thermogenic Niche"

This Friday night (9/13/2024), we will have Dr. Yong Xu Dr. Yong Xu from Baylor College of Medicine to kick off our Fall seminar series. Look forward to the exciting science and inspiring discussion from panelists and the audience.

Even more useful are the data at the county level: countyhealthrankings.org/health-data/he…

I'm thrilled to co-organize the inaugural #AdiposeBiology Conference with Jacqueline Beaudry, Hoon-Ki Sung Lab, and Sable Systems International 🐭🐀🧝🏼‍♀️! 📍Montreal, Canada 📅Aug 19-20, 2025 Registration opens Jan 1, 2025. More info in the coming weeks. Hope to see you there! Adipose Biology Conference #AdiposeBiology2025

Today in Nature Communications, we show the #FutileCreatineCycle plays a key role in #thermogenesis, independent of UCP1. We also challenge the belief that brown adipocytes lack enough ATP synthase for thermogenesis. Congrats Jakub Bunk! Full paper: rdcu.be/egoV7 Rosalind & Morris Goodman Cancer Institute

New data suggests that individuals whose mothers conceived during cold seasons exhibit higher BAT activity, adaptive thermogenesis, increased daily total energy expenditure and lower body mass index and visceral fat accumulation @naturemetabolism nature.com/articles/s4225…

Adipose tissue generates heat even in the absence of UCP1. How does it work? Our new work identifies a molecular “resistor” of Ca2+ cycling that makes heat and controls energy metabolism through a UCP1-independent mechanism. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
