@cellpress.bsky.social Review 🚨 ‘Brain control of energy homeostasis: Implications for anti-obesity pharmacotherapy’ Lead author: @johansenvbi.bsky.social Senior author: @clemmensenc.bsky.social Read it here: www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

The brain is the master regulator of food intake and energy balance. A brilliant new @cellpress.bsky.social review, including the mechanism of GLP-1 drugs, by @clemmensenc.bsky.social and colleagues, open-access www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

Lots of recent papers discuss the nucleus of the solitary tract in interoception. In this review, we take a sensory processing perspective on how interoceptive signals are encoded in the NTS: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

High-intensity exercise → lactate signaling → neurogenesis? Yes (in some brain areas), but forced treadmill stress might be a potential confounding factor. We unpack this and propose some solutions in our latest JC article in The Journal of Physiology (@jphysiol.bsky.social): doi.org/10.1113/JP28...

Anyone interested in working with me at Institute of Metabolic Science - Metabolic Research Laboratories, University of Cambridge, on how AMGEN's new obesity drug MariTide works? I have a 3 year postdoc position available! Deadline March 31st! please share www.jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/50529/

On #WorldObesityDay, we have contributed a SnapShot to a special Issue on Obesity in @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social covering brain actions of the current and emerging weight loss drugs. @jonaspetersen.bsky.social @johansenvbi.bsky.social Free access link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kiaA5WXUlaX…

I am excited to share our latest paper @Nature where we construct a hi-res spatial map of the human hypothalamus, the brain region central in appetite control. It is a collaboration between @IMS_MRL @Cambridge_Uni & @MPI_Metabolism www.nature.com/articles/s41...

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... very excited to share our latest work, out now in Science. Congratulations to Marielle who led our studies! And, all other authors - this was a wonderful collaborative effort

1/3 Kicking off my 🦋 journey with news that my lab has been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant! Feeling incredibly proud and grateful. The project builds on our long-term focus: homeostatic control of body weight and pharmacological approaches for sustained weight loss. cbmr.ku.dk/news/2024/er...

New work stemming from an amazing collaboration with @addisonwebster0 and @AUGCsoup using a combination of rabies mapping and single cell sequencing to identify a GLP1R-expressing local input to AgRP cells that curbs appetite rdcu.be/d2gB5
