Bittersweet to send off @LiLi_Phd2017 as he steps into his new role as a tenure-track Assistant Professor! After his PhD with @JohnSpeakman4, Li became a cornerstone of our lab—leading key projects, setting many “firsts” (postdoc fellowship, Seldin Award, career development award, and more), and inspiring junior fellows like @Baijie_Xu to follow suit. Can’t wait to see the new discoveries from his own lab. Good luck, Li—reach out anytime, and visit often! #ProudMentorMoment @UTSWInternalMed @UTSWNeurosci @UTSWBrain @utswpda

In today’s high-fat, high-sugar world, this same mechanism backfires, increasing vulnerability to obesity. Blocking the switch blunts hyperphagic responses to high-fat diets, highlighting how developmental programs shape adult metabolic health. 9/

Interestingly, our collaborators identified other individuals from the UK Biobank carrying LOF mutations in OTP. All were obese or described as "plumper" in childhood. This suggests OTP LOF mutations may be linked to common obesity, but larger studies are needed. 11/
