Excited to share our recent publication where we identified the small molecule oxybutynin that can overcome severe complex III mitochondrial dysfunction in primary muscle progenitor cells. @cornelluniversity.bsky.social Check out the full story here: journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10....

Sharing our newest publication where we show that the brown fat maintenance regulatory factor Nipsnap1 directly interacts with the mitochondrial beta oxidation machinery to regulate lipid energy homeostasis! Learn more here: jn.nutrition.org/article/S002...

So excited to present our work at the Goodman Cancer Institute at McGill University this week. I am looking forward to connecting with all the excellent scientists at McGill. Thanks @kazaklab.bsky.social for the invite!

Excited to present our work at the Adipose Biology Seminar Series (ABSS) hosted by @kazaklab.bsky.social and colleagues at McGill, UToronto, and SickKids

We are proud to announce the winners of the 5th annual Rising Black Scientists Awards! www.cell.com/news-do/risi... Learn more about each winner and their essays now published in @cp-cell.bsky.social below. 🧵 Sponsored by #CellPress, @cellsignal.bsky.social, and @elsevierconnect.bsky.social

💫NEW by @ppuigserverb.bsky.social & co: the chaperone PPID drives insertion of the #mitochondria import receptor TOM70 into the mitochondrial outer membrane, regulating body temperature, glucose homeostasis and body weight in #obese mice. 👉https://rdcu.be/d8atv www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is a project that is near and dear to my heart. So grateful to receive funding to tackle disparities in nutrition. nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

☕This year Granath-Panelo and Kajimura reviewed evidence of #mitochondria heterogeneity in different contexts and discussed how mitochondrial malleability contributes to cell fate determination and tissue remodeling. 👉https://rdcu.be/d5gHT www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out our latest preprint by the fabulous @peiyintsai.bsky.social where we describe the first protein-protein binding network of the mitochondrial protein Nipsnap1 and how it interfaces with lipid metabolism in BAT. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Happy Holidays from the Barrow Lab!

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪

Sharing our most recent preprint co-led by @kaydine.bsky.social! Here we discovered the small molecule oxybutynin chloride via high-throughput screening approaches that can overcome complex III mitochondrial dysfunction in primary muscle stem cells (MuSCs). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Check out our most recent preprint from @chloecheng.bsky.social under review at AJP Endocrinology and Metabolism. Here we identify the protein and putative brown fat silencer Aquaporin 1 (AQP1) that is only expressed when brown fat is inactive. Read more here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Celebrating our forth alumna from the Barrow lab: Dr. Chloe Cheng, Ph.D. @chloecheng.bsky.social 🥳 Chloe obtained her Ph.D. in Biological and Biomedical Sciences with a concentration in metabolism from Cornell University and is now interviewing for postdoctoral positions. Congrats Chloe!!
