Very cautiously tested FSD at school drop off today. It was aware and responsive to pedestrians and other cars, and it even registered the stop signs of the crossing guards. (Stopped long enough to snap a quick photo)
When the guards put down their signs and the crosswalk was clear, it proceeded through. Thoroughly impressed by this tech!

🎉 BIG milestone! On Aug 7 my 75-year-old dad, Bart Schott, walks the stage at UND to receive his bachelor’s degree—a big achievement!
Join us for a reception at the farm Sat Aug 8, 11:30–1:30 PM. All are welcome to celebrate this huge moment! @undalumni @micahschott

Congratulations Mary et al.!!!
Excited to share that our recent paper showing GLP-1R agonism directly improves the pumping capacity of lymphatic vessels is featured on the journal cover! doi.org/10.1111/micc.70070

Excited to share our new paper: 'LASER couples damage sensing to ESCRT assembly for lysosome repair.' Congrats to dream team @clairegoul and @aakritijain24 for uncovering a new lysosome repair pathway and its connection to neurodegeneration. bit.ly/49FCPoq

Updated preprint! Here, we identify an SREBP-dependent fatty acid sensing metabolic switch in Drosophila, enabling dramatic metabolic rewiring within adipose tissue that boosts carbohydrate metabolism in the absence of fat.

1/3 Thrilled to see our paper led by Kirandeep Deol is out! We used CRISPR screens to uncover regulators of the ferroptosis suppressor FSP1. key discovery: vitamin B2 metabolism stabilizes FSP1 via FAD, revealing a new way vitamins regulate ferroptosis.

Excited to share our new paper in @FEBSJournal! With @OndrejKuda & @FedorovaLab we show how LDs reshape the lipidome of PUFA-exposed cells & shift function within the same cell, revealing a context-dependent role in ferroptosis. Congrats Ana & @Lejaperne! shorturl.at/TyRl1

Happy to see some of our work on #lipiddroplets and #ferroptosis finally out! We reveal opposing roles for LDs in ferroptosis - protection vs. sensitization - balancing membrane and mitochondrial homeostasis with LD-localized lipid oxidation. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We isolated and omics analyzed lipid droplets from human carotid artery plaques. Enrichment (16.5%) of arachidonic acid in cholesteryl ester indicates that the plaque is an inflammatory core. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
