Incredibly proud of our latest publication in @molsystbiol.org led by @nancyts.bsky.social in collab w/ Jean Yang and Lake-Ee Quek - www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.... We curated targeted metabolomic data into pathway-centric ratios and identified subclusters of cancer cells with distinct features.

The remarkable benefit of exercise was just extended to improved survival after cancer in a randomized trial @nejm.org nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Thrilled to share that our manuscript mapping proteomic & phosphoproteomic signatures of NGT, T2D, males & females — before and after hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp — is now accepted in Cell. @annakrook.bsky.social @juleenrzierath.bsky.social @cbmr.science doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

In Chinese adults with overweight or obesity, once-weekly #GLP/glucagon agonist mazdutide, at a dose of 4 mg or 6 mg for 32 - 48 weeks, led to clinically relevant #weightloss in the GLORY-1 trial. Very low drop out rates due to side effects www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Mice lacking this amino acid lost 30% body weight www.nature.com/articles/d41... Am I missing something? Mice engineered to have a specific and severe defect in amino acid metabolism get sick and lose weight. Might the rush to find new weight loss targets be impairing our critical faculties ?

Delighted to share this new review article discussing the potential bidirectional communication between the liver and the central circadian clock. The systemic relationship is likely more complex than we thought! rdcu.be/egZWQ

I'm excited to share our latest story from the @lydiafinley.bsky.social lab, where we show that it's not just whether cells take up nutrients that matters, but how and where those metabolites are used. Out now in @naturemetabolism.bsky.social: rdcu.be/ejFTs 1/
