Very happy to share a bit more of the PhD/Post-Doc work from my time @IDO_Helmholtz In case you happen to be interested in the neuropeptide oxytocin and gut-brain signaling feel free to check out our latest preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Great work - pls check it out! :) Looking forward to be exposed to more such novel concepts and innovative approaches @PospisilikJ lab @VAInstitute
Two’s Two’s Two’s - Excited to share our study finding evidence of 2 major subtypes of obesity. Hope these can eventually help support more accurate understanding, diagnosis & treatment of #obesity and #diabetes. go.nature.com/3eNJF1s

A team of scientists led by VAI’s @PospisilikJ has identified two distinct types of obesity—findings that offer a more nuanced understanding of obesity than current definitions and may one day inform more precise diagnosis and treatment of disease: vai.org/obesity-subtypes

We’re honored that our work made it into this selection @Cell_Metabolism!
We are delighted that our work captured the enthusiasm of the readers of @Cell_Metabolism as one of the past year’s most exciting paper in metabolic research 🙏🏼 @TimGruber14 @IDO_Helmholtz @DiabResearch @ERC_Research @SyNergy_Cluster @LMU_Uniklinikum #astrocyte #hypertension

I am very grateful that I could keep enjoying to work on my favorite neuropeptide, a passion that was kindled in the lab of Valery Grinevich during my masters. Thanks to these three mentors of mine!
Big ‘thank you’ to everyone involved - Wouldn’t have been possible without you!! Special thanks to @CGarciaCaceres and @MatthiasTschop for continual support and encouragement with this (admittedly non-astrocyte ☺️) project.

.@TimGruber14 finds that obesity induced remodeling of the gliovascular interface within the hypothalamus leads to arterial hypertension. @Cell_Metabolism @CGarciaCaceres @MatthiasTschop @helmholtz_diabc @HelmholtzMunich #JRNLclub jrnlclub.org/research-films/…

Starting 2022 with the imo most fascinating neuropeptide <3 More intricacies of the OT system soon to be revealed - stay tuned ;)
Oxytocin has some of the broadest signalling roles in the body, but how do neurons know when and where to release it for each application? Charles Fraser explains how neurons coordinate the release of oxytocin. More in the latest 🎧 #eLifePodcast elifesciences.org/podcast/ep…

The brains of #COVID-19 patients have damaged blood vessels (more so-called string vessels representing remnants of lost capillaries); SARS-CoV-2 infects brain endothelial cells and leads to microvascular pathology via RIPK signaling go.nature.com/2ZavprG

After a summer break we are back to the Epigenetics&Metabolism Webinar series! Join us to hear about the epigenetic regulation of metabolic diseases by Prof. J.Andrew Pospisilik @PospisilikJ on September 16th. Organized by @Indraiitr and @CSebastianLab.
