Distinct sympathetic projections to brown fat regulate thermogenesis and glucose tolerance - Nature Metabolism Neri et al. develop elegant tools to understand how the sympathetic nervous system regulates intrascapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) function. Using these tools, they find that sympathetic nerves ta...

Distinct neurons, distinct functions 🧠🟤 Our Nature Metabolism paper (now out!) shows that separate sympathetic projections to brown adipose tissue independently control thermogenesis and glucose tolerance. Congrats Daniele Neri and team 🥳

Always a pleasure hearing from Dr. Joe Bass and this time around was no different! Thank you Joe for visiting and sharing the recent work from your lab!

Wishing everyone a warm holiday season and a happy new year!

Changing of the leaves means a lab retreat! Great day with the lab complete with discussing new ideas, a walk through Central Park for a brain break, and quite the sunset to cap the day off!

Advances in Adipose Tissue Biology Abstract. Adipose tissue has emerged as a central regulator of human physiology, with its dysfunction driving the global rise in obesity-associated disease

A great collaborative effort with @zeltserlab.bsky.social and colleagues, now in press, thank you NIDDK! academic.oup.com/edrv/advance...

Welcome to Bluesky @zeltserlab.bsky.social !! an important addition to our neurometabolism starter pack

It was our pleasure to have @neuroadipo.bsky.social ! Kristy was kind enough to come from Ohio and share the excellent work that her lab is pushing forward. Another great piece of the neuro-adipo puzzle and always welcome back! 🧪

Amygdala AVPR1A mediates susceptibility to chronic social isolation in female mice - Nature Communications Females are more sensitive to social exclusion and loneliness, risk factors for anxiety and stressrelated disorders. Here, the authors identified molecular signals in the amygdala that make females mo...

Exciting that our first post gets to share that our paper in Nature Communications is now available!
This work uncovers the circuits that mediate sex differences in responsiveness to social stress, but don't take our word for it, check it out!
Congrats, Marie Francois and team 🎉
