“Brother from another mother” @ DZD Workshop, Düsseldorf #Twinning Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden - PLID Deutsches Zentrum für Diabetesforschung (DZD)

🏃‍♂️🎉 Thrilled to share that 16 runners from PLID rocked the #REWETeamChallenge with 28,500 participants! Special shoutout to Nicole & Yanni for their outstanding performances. Big thanks to Deutsches Zentrum für Diabetesforschung (DZD) & Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich for the support! #10000Steps #DiabetesPrevention 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

🚨Paper alert: Researchers at Ninov group CRTD used #optogenetics 🔬 to identify key cells that control blood sugar response. They also find a link between the #betacells and #VitaminB6 in blood sugar regulation. Press release➡️tud.link/4rr7vg #Diabetes #CMCBnews

Congratulations Carla on winning the "PLIDkick" betting game on the #EURO2024 ! The "Snoracle🐌" has guided you wisely! 🥳⚽️🥇🏆 We are already looking forward to the FIFA World Cup 2026 in 🇨🇦, 🇲🇽and the 🇺🇸.

Yesterday, the group of @msolimena took #diabetes #prevention seriously and hiked through the beautiful Saxon Switzerland. What a day! 🤩🥵 #MoreThan10000Steps #summer #LabTrip

Today was Nadeem's last talk in our #DiabetesResearchSeminar before he leaves to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥲. For the last time he showed how beta cell death ☠️ orchestrates the inflammatory 🔥 milieu of the islet in zebrafish 🐟. Thanks Nadeem and all the best for you! 🤗

This week is Postdoc Appreciation Week, so we are celebrating all of our postdocs here at the PLID! While you join in on the online events, we will be highlighting work of our own postdocs! Stay tuned, there's more to come! #PAWde Postdoc Appreciation Week Germany

Today’s #PAWde Spotlight is Prateek Chawla, PhD in the lab of Nikolay Ninov. Read more about Prateek and his work here: t1p.de/1t9f3

Our last #ExternalDiabetesSeminar was a fantastic talk by Over Cabrera from Eli Lilly and Company! His talk on “Diabetes Remission Requires the Ability to Reverse Beta Cell Dysfunction” shed new light on the path to #diabetes remission. Thank you so much for coming to #Dresden!

The end of Postdoc Appreciation Week may be here, but our gratitude for all of our postdocs at the PLID has no end! We would like to say thank you again to all of you for your dedication. What would we do without you? #PAWde Postdoc Appreciation Week Germany

Today is the European Day of Languages! We embrace linguistic diversity as scientists from >20 countries work together at the PLID to protect & restore insulin-producing beta cells. We are proud to be a team that speaks 17 different native languages but is united by one mission!

Let´s get it started. For the next two days, the 2⃣9⃣th workshop of Deutsches Zentrum für Diabetesforschung (DZD) will take place at Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich. Looking forward to inspiring #diabetes research from the five DZD partner sites. 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬🧑‍🏫👩‍🏫

2nd day at DZD workshop at Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich starts with a presentation by our PhD student Laura Dowling. Laura introduces the advantages of the Zebrafish🐟 to model #T1D. #DiabetesResearch

🚨📖New #DiabetesResearch led by @Andi_Microscopy from the @msolimena lab uses advanced 3D #microscopy 🔬 to investigate the structure and function of primary cilia in #BetaCells. The study has now been published in Nature Communications. 👉nature.com/articles/s4146…

Today’s the day! 🎉 We’re in front of Caruso for #WorldDiabetesDay until 2 PM. Stop by to learn about diabetes prevention and see the work we’re doing here at the PLID. See you soon! 💙 #DiabetesAwareness

New study indicates that the transcriptional heterogeneity of non-beta cells has an impact on intra-islet crosstalk and participates in beta cell (dys)function @Leibniz_DIfE Thilo Speckmann Prateek Chawla, PhD Heiko Lickert #Islets #DiabetesResearch tinyurl.com/3y7nr3tu🔓

Thrilled to share one of our biggest discoveries: “Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in beta cells”. doi.org/10.1038/s42255… A tremendous collaborative effort led by Johanna Siehler, Sára Bileková and other members of the Heiko Lickert lab.
