For 40+ years, we’ve known how UCP1 drives thermogenesis—but how UCP1-independent pathways are activated remained unknown. Thrilled to share our @Nature paper, led by Faiz Hussain, uncovering this mechanism: nature.com/articles/s4158…

I’m thrilled to co-organize the 2nd #AdiposeBiology with @sung4400, @beaudrj, and @SableSys in Montreal on Oct 7-9 2026!🇨🇦. Great lineup again. 🔗 Register now – adiposebiology.com Hope to see you there! #AdiposeBiology #ABC2026 #Metabolism #Energybalance #ObesityResearch

Check out my new paper! We mapped food protein ligands of intestinal Tregs and determined the role of these Tregs in oral tolerance: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #Immunology #FoodAllergies #LifeSciences

Researchers at @CornellNutri have identified a molecular mechanism that constrains skeletal muscle regeneration and myofiber repair, a finding that could lead to better treatments for muscular dystrophy and severe injury. @jclinicalinvest @CornellCHE news.cornell.edu/stories/2026/0…

So excited for this meeting. This is such a supportive community. We have many slots for trainee short talks, poster prizes and of course, being in beautiful #montreal is a plus! #ABC2026 @SableSys @sung4400 @beaudrj

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

Please repost. Postdoc position available to decipher metabolic mechanisms that drive cardiovascular disease. Join our exciting lab in New York City! Many career development opportunities. jobrxiv.org/job/weill-corn…

🌟 Last talk of the morning session! We welcome Yuwei Jiang from the University of Illinois Chicago She’s sharing an exciting story on adipose tissue progenitor cells 🔬 #ABC2025 #AdiposeBiology

⏰ It’s time for Daniel Berry from Cornell University! In his short talk, he’s sharing a fascinating story on aging and thermogenesis 🔥⌛ #ABC2025 #AdiposeBiology

The Blum lab is recruiting graduate students and postdocs to work on projects focused on food allergy and oral tolerance! Join our new group at the Salk Institute! Grad students: Reach out to me if you're interested in a rotation! Postdoc candidates: recruiting2.ultipro.com/SAL1013SIBS/Jo…

On this fine July Friday, we know what you need: a discussion on ZIP family zinc transporters relevant to β Cell Function and Insulin Regulation. We are happy to share our review in The Journal of Nutrition! @jnutritionorg @CornellCHE @CornellNutri jn.nutrition.org/article/S0022-…

New paper from @BunkJakub and Mina Ersin in our lab: CKB is the key creatine kinase driving UCP1-independent #thermogenesis in beige fat via the futile creatine cycle (FCC). doi.org/10.1016/j.molm… @McGillGCI @McGillBiochem @MolMetab

@JudithSimcox @Cell_Metabolism @_JessDavidson @HHMINEWS @UWBiochem Congrats Judy and team!

Thrilled to have our story on the regulation of lysosomal lipids out in @Cell_Metabolism! The work was led by two outstanding grad students @_JessDavidson and Raghav Jain probing mechanistic control of energy expenditure @HHMINEWS @UWBiochem

Happy to share the final version of our paper describing that the widely used Ucp1-CreEvdr transgene unfortunately elicits complex developmental and metabolic phenotypes. This work was mainly driven by @ManasiHalurkar (now a PhD student at Purdue). nature.com/articles/s4146…

In a perspective on brown adipose tissue (BAT), Dr. Aaron Cypess (@acypess) and a team of international investigators discuss six debated topics related to BAT, proposing experiments to resolve each one and advance the field cell.com/cell-metabolis… @Cell_Metabolism

Aging, at the cellular level: @CornellEng researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how muscle cells lose the ability to regenerate in aging mice. @NatureAging @bdcosgrove @CornellBME @CornellGrad news.cornell.edu/stories/2024/1…

Congrats Kate Korobkina et al for our @NatMetabolism paper online now showing that in brown fat—a thermogenic tissue famous for generating vast amounts of acetyl-CoA in mitochondria—cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthesis also matters…ALOT. Find out why here: rdcu.be/dWUqM

Exciting news! We have an open position in Biomedical Sciences @Cornell in cancer biology, specifically tumor microenvironment. Scientific excellence, collaborative environment, inclusive community, and beautiful location! Apply here: apps.hr.cornell.edu/recruiting/fac… @cornellvet

Thrilled to share our lab's first manuscript, featuring the brilliant work of @tamiserdan, @hcervant19, and Benji Frank! We've identified a new niche factor and signaling axes that regulate brown fat innervation, angiogenesis, and thermogenesis🔥 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
