Pleased to share this work! For decades it's been postulated that glucagon stimulates lipolysis & fatty acid release from white adipose tissue. To the contrary, we observed no metabolic effects of glucagon receptor signaling at WAT. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36002172/ @vasilevaanaa @beaudrj

Elon Musk is mounting a blitzkrieg-style administrative coup of the US government, accessing & editing critical systems that manage everything from Social Security payments to private taxpayer info. Join @IndivisibleTeam in DC today to demand a stop to it: mobilize.us/moveon/event/7…

Wow, what a way to kick off 2025! Big congratulations to Sinai Health’s Dr. @DanielJDrucker on receiving the Frontiers of Knowledge Award @FundacionBBVA for his pioneering research into the function and mechanism of GLP-1 based medicines! Read more: bbva.info/424ZZSc

I don't know if you realize how big of a deal this is...

Beautiful surprise in the lab today- Homemade lab themed Xmas tree. Ornaments collected in the lab over the year, lab tape garland and a mouse topper. Zoom in to revel at the beauty! Amazing thoughtful craftsmanship, Izzy 😊 Thank you! @UAZHealth @UAZMedicineEdu @UAZMedTucson

Beautiful moon and Venus tonight in the Tucson sky

In 2018, we reported that heavy smokers are characterized by fasting hyperglucagonemia (doi.org/10.2337/dc17-1…) suggesting a link to the elevated #T2D risk in smokers. Here, Hamilton et al. shows how nicotine increases glucagon release from alpha cells💡: doi.org/10.2337/db23-0…

@UAZWIMSTucson Thank you!

Congrats on all of your accomplishments! 👌🏽

GLP-1RAs are neuroprotective in most preclinical studies. Here we detect robust glucose control & #weightloss yet no reduction in plaque, hippocampal IBA1 or GFAP + cells nor cytokine expression with semaglutide or tirzepatide in APP/S1 and 5XFAD mice sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I told my lab we'd go out to Vivace when this R01 was funded, so here we are 😋. I'm so grateful for this wonderful group of kind, talented, hard working trainees. They make every day in lab fun and exciting.

Thank you @EASDnews for the opportunity to share our work at #EASD2024. What an exciting week of science!

Love this!

Incredible stuff. Love it.

We have our fair share, sadly of "negative, non-essential, not required, dispensable for" observations. Understandably, the universe prefers positive exciting transformative data, in a world where reproducibility is not yet appropriately measured or valued nature.com/articles/d4158…

I talk about this all of the time! This time in a podcast🎧 @inside_exercise The power of exercise to benefit our health and wellbeing is remarkable🔥 Emerging evidence indicates multifaceted benefits of exercise for patients with cancer💪🍀 Anything you want discussed?👩‍🔬

We are really excited about the studies we just finished today. Obligatory mouse room selfie 😁

Stern Lab trainees had a great time at the Department of Medicine Research Trainee Celebration. We're excited to give Eddie the Wildcat a home until the next event. Thadeus gave him the nickname Polymerase 🤣 @UAZMedicineEdu @ua
