Specific brain signals rapidly eliminate body fat in mice source.washu.edu/2026/02/spe…

Very happy to start 2026 by sharing our new manuscript in Nature Metabolism.✨ By studying the constitutive adipocytes in the bone marrow, we identified a brain-mediated pathway that bypasses the SNS to evoke massive fat loss. 🧠🦴 Full article here: lnkd.in/gH7eHv4r

Followed up by a very neat live demo for setting up an AI-assisted image registration pipeline! Lots to learn for the biologists - but very cool to see an expert go through the steps in real time.

Live responses from the room on challenges in bone morphometry. Ok… who typed idiots? 😂😂😂 #ISBM2024

So difficult to pick just one! Great discussion and lots of questions at the #ISBM2024 training workshops. @ISBM_society

Grad student-go round at #ASBMR2024 🎉🎉🎉

Lab poster time at #ASBMR2024. 💡 Thanks to all for the visits and questions! @HassanMGE @LilaDabill

🚨After 8y and many dead ends- we are excited to clarify how "stable" adipocyte lipolysis is potently activated independent of catecholaminergic signals while being restrained by glucose and insulin. RT and feedback welcome as we work from preprint to pub! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
