Our paper came out today! 🎉Glucose can enhance glutathione synthesis through pyruvate carboxylase in pancreatic islets to protect against oxidative stress. Thanks to everyone that helped along the way! @JamesShapiro, @LorenWalensky, @echouchani @marcliesa cell.com/action/showPdf…

@SumeetKhetarpal @LabSpiegelman Congrats Sumeet!! And Bruce!!

@LabSpiegelman Thank you @LabSpiegelman for mentoring me on this enjoyable work! Look forward to the next scientific chapter with your guidance! 🙌

Cardiac PGC1a is required for adaptations of the heart to exercise (in mice). A wonderful collaboration with the lab of Tony Rosenzweig. Sumeet is off to start his won lab at UVa (congrats!) nature.com/articles/s4416…

This will be absolutely devastating in the medical field. ~30% residents are international medical graduates & ~10k of 43k residency spots are filled by docs with H1-B visas. Previously the h-1B fee was <$5,000. No hospital will pay a $100k fee for a $55k resident salary.

Register now to the European Islet Study Group meeting in Helsinki, Finland, 18-20 June 2024 🚨Early-bird registration and abstract deadline is approaching, do not miss your chance, limited seats availablea and they are quickly filling up! helsinki.fi/en/conferences……Please RT ;)

Using #snRNAseq and pre-mRNA analysis of human #islet cells can accurately identify human islet cell populations, subpopulations, and their dynamic transcriptome profile in vivo. @GenomeMedicine @AGOcanaLab_COH #diabetes #betacell rdcu.be/dbj0l

@LabSpiegelman Congrats Bruce and Mu et al! 🍾🎉

We are very excited to share our new paper on dynamics of irisin binding to its major receptor, aV/b5 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… A couple of points are worth noting. First, irisin collaborates with another protein, HSP90a, which "opens" the Integrin structure to allow high affinity

**Extension of abstract deadline** - now April 30th! Selected abstracts will be chosen for short oral talks! Early bird registration will close May 1st. Time to get your islet ducks in a row! Please RT Register for our meeting here: event.fourwaves.com/isg2023

@nada_kalaany @Nature Yayyy Congrats Nada! Amazing and inspiring work! 🎉🍾🥂

@AmamotoRyoji Congrats Ryoji!! So exciting, welcome to PI-hood! 🥳

In 2 weeks, I'll be starting my position as an Assistant Professor at Mass Eye and Ear and Harvard Medical School! My goal is to foster a thriving research environment to study the molecular mechanisms underlying retinal degeneration. Check out amamotolab.com for info!

@Melli_Mittenblr @Cell_Metabolism @LabSpiegelman Congrats Melli!! 🎉🍾🥂

Dr. David Harlan was honored with the Rachmiel Levine Award at the annual Levine-Riggs #diabetes #research Symposium @cityofhope recognizing his career spanning nearly 40 years. Dr. Harlan’s award lecture was titled “Finding a way despite unplanned sharp turns.”

@bcellorg @BruceVerchere Congrats @BruceVerchere!! Hopefully I can make it to the next islet meeting!

Just about to give the Grodsky award lecture. Congratulations @BruceVerchere !!

Fearless grad student @veronical1411 led this team science effort to answers the question, why don't you feel hungry after a hard workout? @nature @SnyderShot @StevenMBanik @proferikrichter @DrYongXu1 @Stanford_ChEMH @StanfordPath @WuTsaiAlliance nature.com/articles/s4158…

As COVID-related funding subsides, researchers return to a more traditional form of grant writing.
