Sapaly et al. show that muscle cholesterol metabolism is dysregulated in ALS before the onset of motor symptoms. Abnormal cholesterol transport from lysosomes may alter muscle energy metabolism and could be a potential therapeutic target. tinyurl.com/2bxuv6t7

Absolutely thrilled to have received funding from the SMF-DUK #Type1DiabetesGrandChallenge to work with the awesome Prashant Srivastava and Dr. Teresa Rodriguez-Calvo (DVM, PhD) and in collaboration with Rocio Sancho Lab to look at how my favourite molecules, microRNAs, behave differently between beta-cells (1/2)

The Yang lab will be expanding with MRC & Wellcome funding support! Watch out for recuitment adverts for technician, postdoc & PhD posts over the coming year. If you are interested in neural-pancreas interations, reach out for informal chats. #zebrafish #islet #diabetes

New study led by Jiping Zhang - low glucose increases macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) release from macrophages. Allosteric #AMPK activators do a decent job at attenuating/limiting MIF release Diabetic Medicine Wiley #ExeterDiabetes Diabetes UK Research. Explainer to follow

🥳Congratulations to Professor Susan Wong on being appointed a CBE for her extraordinary contributions to #diabetes #research. A true leader in the fight against #Type1Diabetes, we're proud to have funded her work to unravel the immune root causes of #T1D👏

New Diabetes UK funded research published in Diabetic Medicine reports how low blood sugar (#hypoglycemia) triggers inflammation by increasing the release of a protein called MIF in immune cells👇

💡Findings suggest that activating AMPK, the body's fuel guage, could reduce this inflammatory response. Drugs targetting AMPK could help manage inflammation during #hypo, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular events #diabetes. Full text👇onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
