Excited to share the lab's latest paper published @PLOSBiology. Together with @cumminslab, we found that refeeding following a period of fasting leads to temporally-organized changes in chromatin landscape and gene expression. 1/2 journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…

Refeeding after a period of fasting induces a metabolic switch in the liver and can lead to a ’fat overshoot’, where fat mass surpasses pre-fasting levels. The study elucidates the kinetics of...
