Futile cycles: Emerging utility from apparent futility dlvr.it/T7sZq0

The Metabolism in Action conference is now open for applications! Hope seeing you there in November!! sciencecluster.dk/event/metaboli…

Very interesting review on the "futile" (i.e. not really futile) lipid cycle and its important roles in metabolic homeostasis.

Do you know how to exploit a seemingly wasteful process for good? Our cells do. Check out the most recent publications on futile cycles in Cell Metabolism Christian Wolfrum Spiegelman Lab Revati D, Ph.D. (she/her) ETH Zurich 1. cell.com/cell-metabolis… 2. doi.org/10.1016/j.cmet…

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…

What a nightmare. Booked AirIndia/Swiss flight. Reached Delhi, Vistara canceled connecting flight and gave a flight which is 14h later. No lounge access. Security is neither letting us in or go out. Horrible customer service. Air India Vistara Swiss Intl Air Lines

Our new paper, "NK2R control of energy expenditure and feeding to treat metabolic diseases," is out today in nature. Here we identify a single receptor that can both peripherally increase energy expenditure and centrally suppress appetite. nature.com/articles/s4158… 1/12 🧵👇

Great resource for the adipose community! Check it out!

Despite RNA-based cell atlases, there’s a debate that defining cell types purely by gene expression is reductive. It centers on whether cells should be classified based on morphology, function, molecular signatures, or if entirely new frameworks are needed nature.com/articles/s4136…

Mark your calendars & repost! Join us for the 2026 FASEB Lipid Droplets Conference! July 26-30, 2026 in beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona. Best of all: The FASEB Lipid Droplet meeting is co-locating with the FASEB Phospholipid meeting. Two wonderful lipid communities together!
