Recent work by @KaceyPrentice, and fellow researchers demonstrate that secretion of FABP4 from adipocytes can be induced through sympathetic signaling, providing important clues into metabolic health and disease. Congrats to all involved! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Two PhDs in the same year (#s 9 and 10)! It was a true privilege to mentor ⁦Molly @Molly__McNamara⁩ and Sophie over these last few years. Inspiring pair with the brightest of futures.

I am pleased to share new work out in @NatMetabolism, the Magnum Opus of former PhD student Josh Shin! Josh wanted to understand precisely how cancer cells regulate metabolism to meet the demands of each phase of the cell cycle nature.com/articles/s42255-0…

If any scientists are left on this platform, it is my pleasure to share the work of Aaron Hosios from our group, who found that mTOR inhibition leads to phospholipid catabolism and adaptive repurposing of the fatty acids for energy storage or production. rdcu.be/c1TPn

Aaron used unbiased lipidomics to determine what happens to intracellular lipid species when mTORC1 is inhibited and landed on an observation similar to that reported previously by @OlzmannLab - however the changes we see do not depend on autophagy. cell.com/developmental-cell/…

Lysosome-dependent turnover of membrane phospholipids providing a means to recycle fatty acids at a time when mTORC1 and SREBP-mediated de novo synthesis of fatty acids is attenuated. Still do not know the precise molecular mechanism, but involves membrane delivery to lysosomes.

Thanks Mathieu! Looking forward to reading your perspective on the study.
I am happy to share our News and Views published today in @NatMetabolism. In this article, @LauTribouillard and I discuss exciting new findings from the @Manning_BD’s lab. nature.com/articles/s42255-0…

Truth-oblivious, rumor-mongering toxicity notwithstanding, the potential loss of this venue to communicate and celebrate science and the joy of being a scientist is sad.
