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…

Glycerol-driven TNAP activation in thermogenesis and mineralization

Nature - Glycerol is an allosteric activator of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP), activating the futile creatine cycle.

Check out my new paper! We mapped food protein ligands of intestinal Tregs and determined the role of these Tregs in oral tolerance: science.org/doi/10.1126/scii… #Immunology #FoodAllergies #LifeSciences

Identification and characterization of dietary antigens in oral tolerance

Immunodominant epitopes from seed storage proteins are a target of intestinal regulatory T cells that modulate immune challenge to food.

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…

Scientists identify regenerative checkpoint that limits muscle repair | Cornell Chronicle

The finding could lead to improved treatment for conditions like muscular dystrophy and severe injury.

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
