This muscle cell gatekeeper has implications for a broad range of muscle-related conditions. Using murine and human models, Siwen Xue @siwen_xue Daniel C. Berry @dcberrylab & team @WeillCornell show block of the protein PDGFRbeta enhances myofiber repair and regeneration, whereas activation of it slows down recovery by limiting cell size and fusion: doi.org/10.1172/JCI188… The image shows muscle regeneration in mice treated with the PDGFRbeta inhibitor SU16f. #myotwitter

Friday, February 20 - @UICPhysiology Seminar Series welcomes Liangyou Rui, PhD from University of Michigan Medical School, to present on “m6A-based Epitranscriptomics in Health and Metabolic Disease"

Beige fat surrounding blood vessels actively works to keep high blood pressure in check, according to a new Science study in mice, promoting healthy vascular function even during obesity. The findings support the notion that therapeutic activation of thermogenic fat tissue could help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. 📄: scim.ag/4sLalkT #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/4qtFHLs

New data suggests that individuals whose mothers conceived during cold seasons exhibit higher BAT activity, adaptive thermogenesis, increased daily total energy expenditure and lower body mass index and visceral fat accumulation @naturemetabolism nature.com/articles/s4225…

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…

Today in @NatureComms, we show the #FutileCreatineCycle plays a key role in #thermogenesis, independent of UCP1. We also challenge the belief that brown adipocytes lack enough ATP synthase for thermogenesis. Congrats @BunkJakub! Full paper: rdcu.be/egoV7 @McGillGCI

I'm thrilled to co-organize the inaugural #AdiposeBiology Conference with @beaudrj, @sung4400, and @SableSys! 📍Montreal, Canada 📅Aug 19-20, 2025 Registration opens Jan 1, 2025. More info in the coming weeks. Hope to see you there! @AdiposeBiology #AdiposeBiology2025

Even more useful are the data at the county level: countyhealthrankings.org/health-data/he…

Friday, September 13 - @UICPhysiology Seminar Series welcomes Daniel C. Berry, PhD, @DCBerryLab, from Cornell University to present “Fueling the Fire: Defining the Brown Fat Thermogenic Niche"

This Friday night (9/13/2024), we will have Dr. Yong Xu @DrYongXu1 from Baylor College of Medicine to kick off our Fall seminar series. Look forward to the exciting science and inspiring discussion from panelists and the audience.

@kazaklab This is great! Thank you Lawrence and your team!

Hello #thermogenesis and #adipose folks, Ucp1 lovers and non-canonical lovers: Our recently generated Ucp1 and Ckb conditional mice will soon be available at The Jackson Laboratory: jax.org/strain/039540 jax.org/strain/039539
