Today, we report that cholesterol-induced inflammation in adipocytes is under control of the Nfe2l1-ATF3 pathway. Proteasome-mediated proteostasis is vital to suppress insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in mice and is linked to obesity in humans.

Excellent week at UCPH, getting a deeper understanding of the Promethion system and learning how to maximize and make the most out of all it has to offer! Big shout out to all the parties involved in the organization, it was an absolute blast!🙌🏻 @DDEA_Denmark @SableSysEurope

[Danish Diabetes and Endocrine Academy @DDEA_Denmark]

This week we elevated our skills in rodent phenotyping together with @SableSysEurope 🐁

Our course on High-Resolution Metabolic and Behavioral Phenotyping took place this week taking our participants through all steps of setting up and running Promethion Core 📊

Happy Halloween 💀

Our new 2023 group pic - as my beard is becoming whiter the lab is being continuously rejuvenated. While I’m sad to see my students leave I’m very proud when they spread their wings and move on to new challenges.

This is the way.

[Will Garland / @willgarland.bsky.social @wgarland10]

Very happy to finally have this work published in @CellReports. Here, we identify and characterise direct, competitive, interactions between ARS2 and RNA decay factors mediated by a common motif.

Happy to be back in beautiful Tutzing for the #46ELCmeeting to present my work and listen to great science in lipid metabolism, closely followed by the #EMBOLipidDroplet, surrounded by inspiring scientists. Grateful for the community I'm getting to know in my #PhD journey💫

[Toni Petan @PetanLab]

Had a great time at the #EMBOLipidDroplet Workshop, the first European LD meeting! Amazing community and fantastic science. Thank you @MariaBohnert, Robin and Bianca! Looking forward to the next one! @AlbertPol10 @dgmashek @OlzmannLab @TomazMartini @FedorovaLab @cohenlaboratory

This month, our lab turns 5 - and what a ride it has been! I am extremely grateful to all the people who have helped building the lab baby step by baby step and making every day enjoyable! Thank you, AB ❤️

[Alba Mena Gómez @AlbaMena26]

Excited to see that our comment on the use of CRISPR-based gene activation to engineer metabolism is out!👇🏻

We wrote a thing - I confess I’m the mastermind behind the silliness in the lab 🖖
