Leaders and Best! #GoBlue

Perfection! The Michigan Wolverines are national champions! #GoBlue

IT’S GREAT TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE! #GoBlue

This is an exceptional opportunity for post-bacs interested in metabolism and metabolic disease. Research experience in Joslin-BIDMC/Harvard with stipend and benefits. Please apply or spread the word!! joslin.org/research/learn…

The health benefits of exercise are more than just burning calories. How about brown fat? This new paper shows that the role of brown fat in improving metabolic health extends far beyond thermogenesis. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Huge Congratulations to the 2024 recipient of the Sable Award, Shingo Kajimura Lab ! The award lecture was really something special

Great job to Lainy Walesewicz a graduate student in the Simcox lab who wrote a Cell Metabolism preview on recent work from the Shingo Kajimura Lab. We discuss the impact of a novel function for brown adipocytes in BCAA processing for glucose regulation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Now published! Stephen Decker and I discuss potential biophysical mechanisms by which membrane lipids influence OXPHOS. Cell Metabolism cell.com/cell-metabolis…

The Tigers clinch a playoff spot! Dan Dickerson on the call #RepDetroit

October ready 😤

New preprint! Marisa Brothwell Marisa implicates cardiolipin (CL) deficiency in MASH. In particular, CL appears to be essential for electron hand-off from CoQ to complex III. This is our best work on mitochondrial membrane lipids thus far! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Our new preprint is out "Identification of a Resistance Exercise-Specific Signaling Pathway that Drives Skeletal Muscle Growth". Collaborative project with Coon Lab and Stuart Phillips (he/him) that took 8 years to finish. Hopefully you think it was worth the wait researchsquare.com/article/rs-499…

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 🧵👇

I'm excited to present a small method project of mine from Rutter Lab! Here we designed a dual-purification system to isolate mitochondrial subpopulations based on their proximity to membranous organelles. All constructs will be available on Addgene soon! journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/do…

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…

1/10 Excited to write this thread summarizing our new paper in Nature Metabolism, which identifies a potentially critical part of the signaling pathway that drives skeletal muscle growth in response to resistance exercise! Free link rdcu.be/el9am #Myotwitter NIAMS
