Can methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) affect the maintenance of mature #BetaCell function?

In this study, researchers at the Hoffman Lab report sustained methylation of H3K4 is critical for the maintenance of beta cell function.

Exciting news from @VertexPharma this morning - they have received clearance from the FDA to begin the clinical trial for their encapsulated cell therapy. (1/2)

Graduate student positions are available in the @Lim_Labo lab at the @CRCHUM!

Interested in understanding how 14-3-3 proteins control pancreatic beta-cell or adipocyte function? Curious about their roles in obesity or diabetes?

Please contact me for more details!

Austin J. Taylor and colleagues show that despite previous reports, islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) loss in #diabetes, does not accelerate #tumour growth in mice.

@Linder_surprise @OpenAcademics Speed drawing competition of what the next experiment or expected results of an experiment may be?!

@nkrentz @JimJohnsonSci @chrisadoucette And me please!

For people interested in PC1/3 and immunometabolism, an explanation for why PC1/3 KO mice are hyperinflammatory. Had hoped for a new player but turned out to be an old acquaintance. @BruceVerchere @AusJTaylor @Lindberglab

@WRISGMeeting @AtUcsf @BruceVerchere Congrats Bruce! 🍻A fantastic mentor and scientist.

@FrankHaopeng @bcellorg For mouse or human? The Bethyl labs Ab has worked reasonably well for me doing IHC of mouse pancreas sections

The Best Scientists 🧵

I have heard a lot about the Best Scientists 🧑‍🔬

Maybe the best scientists...
make impactful discoveries,
publish in gilded journals,
garner millions in funding,
with lots of indirects.
And prizes, all the prizes🏆

And everybody respects them.

OR…

@nictitate Am I allowed to say it was actually really fun? 🤓

[Austin Taylor @AusJTaylor]

@nictitate It was the good kind of grilling. Like a backyard bbq?!

[Austin Taylor @AusJTaylor]

@nictitate Thanks for all your help over the years and for the grilling!

[Austin Taylor @AusJTaylor]

@JimJohnsonSci What about dogecoin though?

[Austin Taylor @AusJTaylor]

@JimJohnsonSci @BruceVerchere @DanielJDrucker @Brunorm84 @NatureComms @CarpentierAndr3 Probably a couple months still as I’m trying to increase colony size. Some time in March most likely

[Austin Taylor @AusJTaylor]

@BruceVerchere @DanielJDrucker @JimJohnsonSci @Brunorm84 @NatureComms @CarpentierAndr3 Constitutive cre with the mTmG reporter 🙂 planning to check the islets in this model since it’s a concern of mine and was a major reason for including the reporter in a few mice

[Austin Taylor @AusJTaylor]

@nictitate I was joking 🙃

[Austin Taylor @AusJTaylor]

@nictitate It’s the lack of gloves right?!

@GLim2016 I got one a frame from AnthroDesk and built the table top. Canadian company and good price point. I had a really small space and their frame could go slightly narrower than others and fit my space
