2) But this part is now over. As even high profile papers and successful grant applications couldnt notch a tenure it was ultimately time to go. I deeply want to thank all the awesome people i have come across during my time. All the collaborations that many times resulted in

3) publications. All the best for your future and hopefully many new exciting findings in the #brownfat and #metabolism CRC/TRR-BATenergy field, watching out for your work! For those who wonder, i am not leaving for industry. i will work on regulation and permit of novel #T2D drugs

4) and who knows, if your work leads to novel substances/drugs I might in the future review your preclinical and clinical data ;)

We revealed a secret sibling to human adipocytes! SWAT cells are multipotent, secrete extra cellular matrix and share progenitors with adipocytes. Regardless of brown or white fat origin! Joint journey with Soren Nielsen in Nature Metabolism nature.com/articles/s4225…

Today marks the birthday of two (!) remarkable women scientists🥳- Marie Skłodowska Curie (1867), most famous for the discovery of #radium & #polonium & her #radioactivity research & Lise Meitner (1878), whose brilliance unlocked the secrets of #nuclearfission. Happy birthday,

Extremely happy to see the results of a great collaboration out in Science. This work spearheaded by Franziska Heydenreich provides new insights on how the pharmacological properties of GPCR ligands are propagated through receptors. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Happy to finally share our work on the role of EPAC1 in brown adipose tissue Nature Cell Biology nature.com/articles/s4155…

💫NEW: Alexander Pfeifer, Laia Reverte-Salisa & co show that, in #preadipocytes, #EPAC1 enhances brown #AdiposeTissue growth and the function of #ThermogenicFat in obesogenic conditions. EPAC1 activation induces human brown adipocyte proliferation and differentiation. nature.com/articles/s4155…

We are #hiring . Please help spread the word ↪: 3-year Postdoc project 🔬 on microRNA gene-regulation and intercellular crosstalk in the obese adipose tissue microenvironment (see below). 1-year 0.5 FTE R project on adipocyte-mediated gene therapies for cancer cachexia 🏥.

Congrats to Dr. Jürgen Wess, Section Chief of Molecular Signaling in NIDDK’s Laboratory of Bioorganic Chemistry, for being elected a 2023 AAAS Fellow for his distinguished contributions to molecular and translational pharmacology. aaas.org/news/aaas-welc…

Thrilled that our huge team effort with Jan-Wilhelm Kornfeld 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇵🇸 is out in Nature Metabolism 🥳 supported by CRC/TRR-BATenergy A huge thank you to all collaborators! If you want to know how a truncated AC3 isoform regulates #BAT function, have a look here nature.com/articles/s4225…

A new mode of action of sulfonylureas is proposed which is mediated via their interference with PPARγ phosphorylation rather than via classical PPARγ agonist activity at clinical concentrations Molecular Metabolism sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

It took more than a DECADE... but finally it’s published!!! It started as a CRAZY idea but after tons of hard work we built it: We hijacked the endogenous secretion systems of Toxoplasma gondii, a brain parasite, to deliver active proteins to neurons 👇 nature.com/articles/s4156…
