Voting has started for #ASH26 elections.
We are rooting for Wendy Stock @DrWendyStock running for Vice President!
She is an incredible hematologist, researcher, mentor, sponsor and advocate. She made enormous impact on so many lives and careers, including mine.
So please vote!

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:

I’m proud of @UCCancerCenter’s national ranking in the top 1% and #1 in Illinois. It is a testament to our exceptional patient-centered care and innovative research. We are reshaping the future of cancer care @KunleOdunsiMD #NothingWillStopUs

🔥 Hot off the press: In a new @Nature study, @ErnstLengyel and team show that blocking NNMT in tumor-supporting cells restores immune response & stops ovarian cancer growth, offering a new strategy for hard to treat cancers. @OvCa_UChicago @uchicago_obgyn

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).

Today in @NatureComms, we show the #FutileCreatineCycle plays a key role in #thermogenesis, independent of UCP1. We also challenge the belief that brown adipocytes lack enough ATP synthase for thermogenesis. Congrats @BunkJakub! Full paper: rdcu.be/egoV7 @McGillGCI

Our new paper, "NK2R control of energy expenditure and feeding to treat metabolic diseases," is out today in @Nature.
Here we identify a single receptor that can both peripherally increase energy expenditure and centrally suppress appetite.

Excited to share the first paper from the lab @UChicago! In this review, @juguillard and I discuss how nutrient availability and utilization regulate collagen synthesis in heath and disease, and propose underlying metabolic networks.

Here is our new paper showing that beige fat cells occur in 2 major types: UCP1-high and Futile creatine cycle (FCC)-high. This kind of reconciles the UCP1 vs FCC discussions. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jWGh…
Congratulations my dear friend on your new position! You are an outstanding scientist, and those fortunate enough to be mentored by you will undoubtedly benefit greatly from your guidance.
Il y a 10 ans, j'obtenais une bourse de thèse grâce à la @fondationsante Groupama et le soutien du Pr. Cabrol. Aujourd'hui, j'ai réussi le concours de l'@Inserm en CSS3, obtenu un poste à @CarMeN_lab_Lyon @InsermAuRA et réalisé mon rêve de petite fille de devenir Chercheuse !🌟🎉

Hi X folks, just launched my lab website. Come geek out with us and witness the magic unfold. Hope it gets populated with new faces and papers soon 😉.
