Alan R. Saltiel @LabSaltiel & team @UCSanDiego show TBK1 acts as a brake on fat burning during fasting—and the combination of a TBK1 inhibitor and an AMPK activator reverses obesity and improves #MetabolicHealth in mice.
The figure: Combined TBK1 inhibition and AMPK activation improve metabolic health in obese mice.

Dr. Irfan Lodhi and collaborators identified a pathway that regulates how the body breaks down fat during metabolic stress, including severe illness and cachexia, revealing insight into how stable fat stores are mobilized under stress conditions. bit.ly/3OVi7d7

With great sadness I report the passing of my scientific mentor Jesse Roth at age 91. Jesse was a brilliant & innovative scientist who led the field of membrane receptor biology from NIH diabetes branch. A small part of that family tree is shown. May his memory be a blessing.

Kvelling again about a former trainee. Xiao-wei Chen in another major breakthrough in Nature. Beautiful paper.

the next chapter in our investigation into how glycogen metabolism is regulated in fat cells; terrific work from Haipeng Fu and our collaborators.
Haipeng Fu@Haipeng_Fu
Happy to share our paper is now published in @NatureComms. This work studies transcriptional regulation of glycogen metabolism genes in adipocytes. Grateful to my mentor @LabSaltiel and all collaborators for their guidance and support. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The longer version of my tribute to Pedro Cuatrecasas.
National Academy of Sciences@theNASciences
#NASmember Pedro Cuatrecasas devoted himself to improving human health, overseeing the development of 40+ new drugs across his career. Read about his work as a scientific innovator and leader in pharmaceutical discovery in a new memoir: ow.ly/A1vW50XAmEw #MemoirMonday

@LabSpiegelman Guess they were commemorating the discovery and development of MEK inhibitors with a picture from the same era. Wait- are you saying I've aged?

@LabSaltiel Who invented that picture of you looking so young?
