Not one, but TWO endocrinologists to join the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame in 2026. Both Drs Hegele and Zinman have changed the way we treat metabolic disorders forever. In addition though … they are just kind humans. Congratulations!!🎉🎊🎈
Join us in congratulating the #2026CMHFInductees!cdnmedhall.ca/induction PAVEL HAMET, MD PhD ROBERT ALEXANDER HEGELE, MD MICHAEL D. HILL, MD MARY R. L'ABBÉ, PhD MORAG PARK, PhD BERNARD ZINMAN, MDCM @kellygrant1 @Megan_Ogilvie @LaurenPelley @DubinskiKa4985 @JenLeeCBC @Avis_Favaro

I‑BET151 modulates glucokinase gene expression and beta cellfunction in part through changes in FOXO1 expression rdcu.be/eIBCo Assoc. Prof Yusuf Ali's team @NTU_LKCMedicine in collaboration with @guy_rutter and @astar_research discovered that BET protein inhibition (I-BET151) impacts pancreatic β-cell function. 🔹 ↑ Glucose excursions 🔹 ↓ Insulin response 🔹 Downregulation of MODY genes (Hnf4α, Gck, Hnf1α, Glut2) & PI3K–Akt pathway ⚠️ BET therapies may impair β-cell health — caution warranted. #Diabetes #Epigenetics #BETinhibition

Collaborators including @LioraKatz1, @DKSNYCMSSM, and @COttmann1433 developed highly potent, selective, active stabilizers of the ChREBPα/14-3-3 PPI with a phosphonate chemotype that display activity in both INS-1 cell lines and primary human islets. 🔗 go.nature.com/4i3zoKp

Hello everyone! I am helping to organize a one-day symposium on fluorescent metabolite biosensors and their use in metabolism research. It will be May 12-13 and associated with the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory “Mechanisms of Metabolic Signaling” Symposium. Our field needs to be able to visualize metabolism with spatial and temporal resolution and this symposium will explore what to do and how to do it, with experts in metabolism and biosensor development and use. Please join us! meetings.cshl.edu/meetings.a… -JR

I'm quoted in this article on how NIH is still blocked from funding new grants. This sabotage makes no sense. Nearly every medicine or treatment you've ever received has roots in NIH-funded research, and every $1 of NIH spending generates $2.46 in returns. wbur.org/news/2025/02/24/can…

Black are the constituencies won by the CDU/CSU, blue the constituencies won by the AfD. Quite staggering. Can you spot the exact location of the old inner-German border?! 🥴

🔬Are #betacells the only key players in #insulinsecretion? In this episode, Mark Huising & @guy_rutter explore how alpha & delta cells shape glucose regulation. Could this lead to new #diabetes treatments? 🎧 Listen now: easd.org/media-centre/podcas… #IsletBiology #Research
