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: nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Researchers at @CornellNutri have identified a molecular mechanism that constrains skeletal muscle regeneration and myofiber repair, a finding that could lead to better treatments for muscular dystrophy and severe injury. @jclinicalinvest @CornellCHE news.cornell.edu/stories/202…

This muscle cell gatekeeper has implications for a broad range of muscle-related conditions. Using murine and human models, Siwen Xue @siwen_xue Daniel C. Berry @dcberrylab & team @WeillCornell show block of the protein PDGFRbeta enhances myofiber repair and regeneration, whereas activation of it slows down recovery by limiting cell size and fusion: doi.org/10.1172/JCI188272 The image shows muscle regeneration in mice treated with the PDGFRbeta inhibitor SU16f. #myotwitter

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). doi.org/10.1016/j.molmet.202… @McGillGCI @McGillBiochem @MolMetab

Happy to share the final version of our paper describing that the widely used Ucp1-CreEvdr transgene unfortunately elicits complex developmental and metabolic phenotypes. This work was mainly driven by @ManasiHalurkar (now a PhD student at Purdue). nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Congrats Kate Korobkina et al for our @NatMetabolism paper online now showing that in brown fat—a thermogenic tissue famous for generating vast amounts of acetyl-CoA in mitochondria—cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthesis also matters…ALOT. Find out why here: rdcu.be/dWUqM
