Read the impact of research @foedrc, that changes lives of those with #Diabetes and our success in developing future diabetes researchers. @UIAdvancement @DaretoDiscover @UIowaResearch @iowamed @ADA_DiabetesPro @NIDDKgov @IntMedatIowa @FOEGrandAerie magazine.foriowa.org/story.php?ed=t…

FGF21 is EXPRESSED in the BRAIN!! Wait, hasn't that been shown? Studies in high profile journals @Cell_Metabolism and @NatMetabolism got it WRONG - bad methods. We show that FGF21 is NOT expressed in the hypothalamus but instead in the RSC and thalamus: cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Two days in a row in @PLOSONE. This time, a collaboration b/w our faculty & members of @uiowaeye & @foedrc as they map the impact of diabetes on the eye’s aqueous humor. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Sam Stephens, PhD, and his lab team have developed a reporter system to visualize insulin production in live pancreatic islet beta-cells in Type 2 diabetes. Discover how they are using imaging techniques and biosensors to monitor insulin trafficking: spr.ly/60193DhbJ

Is it possible that improved blood sugar control offered by a hybrid closed-loop insulin pumps might reduce the adverse brain effects of type 1 diabetes in children? Eva Tsalikian and Michael Tansey were among a group of physicians who designed a study to answer this question.

Congratulations @SatyaTadinada on the publication of chapter 1 of your thesis in @PhysRep. Important perspective on in vivo vs. ex vivo crosstalk between insulin and b-adrenergic signaling. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.14814/p…

Congratulations to @calvinscarter who was recently appointed to the Iowa Governor's STEM Advisory Council!

Final version of our latest review on Ubiquitin ligases in aging and skeletal muscle is now online | @DrAdamPSharples @scbodine #myotwitter mdpi.com/1422-0067/23/1…

Three of our faculty were honored Tuesday with faculty appointments endowed by the Fraternal Order of Eagles. 🎉 Congratulations to Sue Bodine, PhD; Ayotunde Dokun, MD, PhD, FACE; and Kamal Rahmouni, PhD. Details: spr.ly/6016zrTuy

Check out this publication by @Bhagi43905530 posted earlier this month in @SciReports! The study demonstrates that a key lipid metabolite may be a useful targeting in preventing or even reversing diabetes and many of its comorbidities. tinyurl.com/2p8swxcc

A recent @SciReports pub from @Bhagi43905530 finds that an extract from a commercially available fungus has the ability to block a key lipid metabolite's activity and reverse diabetes, obesity, and related comorbidities in mice. internalmedicineiowa.org/2022/05/16/blo…

We’re going to count it! @IntMedAbel becomes the third elected member of @theNASciences from @iowamed. Only about a dozen in the Academy’s 160-year history have come from @uiowa. Congratulations, Dr. Abel! internalmedicineiowa.org/2022/05/10/abe…

FOEDRC member, Ling Yang, is one of the recipients of the Stead Family Scholars Program! Congratulations @lingyanguiowa! medicine.uiowa.edu/content/inaugu…

Congratulations to @qianshi_uiowa on her @AHA_Research CDA as she investigates an insulin receptor’s ability to protect from heart disease. @foedrc @LongShengSong1 internalmedicineiowa.org/2022/04/11/shi…

Dr. Mark Yorek will partner w/Dr. Rodica Pop-Busui (@umichmedicine) on a 4-yr, $2.6M @NIDDKgov R01 to treat / prevent neuropathy associated w/#diabetes. @foedrc @UIowaResearch internalmedicineiowa.org/2022/04/04/yor…

Congrats to @iowabme associate prof @JamesAnkrum who has been selected to receive a @FulbrightPrgrm Scholar Award! Ankrum will travel abroad this year to Ireland to study regenerative medicine. Congratulations! international.uiowa.edu/news/james-ank…
