Excited to share our latest work in collaboration with the @edreznik.bsky.social lab @mskcancercenter.bsky.social, where we describe functionally dominant mitochondrial DNA mutations in patient tumors. So, what is functional dominance in mitochondrial genetics, I hear you ask? rdcu.be/eN1jm

Creatine fuels cancer. In @asbmbjournals.bsky.social we show CKB drives CK activity in NSCLC, osteosarcoma & ovarian cancer, promoting metastasis & anoikis resistance. Led by postdoc Mouna Tlili, in collaboration with Peter Siegel + @mcgillgci.bsky.social. Preproof: www.jbc.org/article/S002...

If you don’t have time to take a walk, then you don’t have time to do science. Charles Darwin would take two walks every day on his "thinking path", not as a break from science, but as a crucial part of it.

Today in @naturecomms.bsky.social we show the #FutileCreatineCycle plays a key role in #thermogenesis, independent of UCP1. We also challenge the belief that brown adipocytes lack enough ATP synthase for thermogenesis. Congrats to Jakub Bunk! @mcgillgci.bsky.social Full paper: rdcu.be/egoV7

McGill #researchers discover link between body muscle and the brain that influences female fertility 💪🧠 mcgill.ca/x/wtC

NEXT WEEK! -Adipose Biology Seminar Series- ⏰Tues. Jan. 28, 12pm-1pm EST 🎙️ Dr. Mitchell A. Lazar, M.D, PhD @upenn.edu 💻Details on poster below Please share! To students/PDFs: contact us if you'd like to present!⭐️

Muscle-derived myostatin is a major endocrine driver of follicle-stimulating hormone synthesis | Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Major advance in endocrinology. So fascinating that new important hormonal actions of TGFBeta family members are still being discovered.

A remarkable article in @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social on areas of controversy in brown adipose tissue research. Kudos to the authors for collaboratively presenting supporting evidence and importantly, the methods and experiments that would resolve the debates: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

At lab meeting today, attempting to stimulate more #nightscience, trainees started with failed or weird experiments, sparking an amazing discussion, contributions from every lab member and tonnes of new ideas and hypotheses. This will be a thing going forward. @itaiyanai.bsky.social
