For 40+ years, we’ve known how UCP1 drives thermogenesis—but how UCP1-independent pathways are activated remained unknown. Thrilled to share our @Nature paper, led by Faiz Hussain, uncovering this mechanism:

Microbial-derived 3-phenylpropionic acid orchestrates immune-progenitor cell crosstalk to promote beige adipogenesis and energy expenditure https://t.co/5m2JAajZhm
Check out my new paper! We mapped food protein ligands of intestinal Tregs and determined the role of these Tregs in oral tolerance:

Researchers at @CornellNutri have identified a molecular mechanism that constrains skeletal muscle regeneration and myofiber repair, a finding that could lead to better treatments for muscular dystrophy and severe injury. @jclinicalinvest@CornellCHE https://t.co/IGZxX5R4Fc
So excited for this meeting. This is such a supportive community. We have many slots for trainee short talks, poster prizes and of course, being in beautiful #montreal is a plus! #ABC2026@SableSys@sung4400@beaudrj
This muscle cell gatekeeper has implications for a broad range of muscle-related conditions.
Using murine and human models, Siwen Xue @siwen_xue Daniel C. Berry @dcberrylab & team @WeillCornell show block of the protein PDGFRbeta enhances myofiber repair and regeneration, whereas activation of it slows down recovery by limiting cell size and fusion: https://t.co/kk98Vdlchy
The image shows muscle regeneration in mice treated with the PDGFRbeta inhibitor SU16f.

Happy to share the final version of our paper describing that the widely used Ucp1-CreEvdr transgene unfortunately elicits complex developmental and metabolic phenotypes. This work was mainly driven by @ManasiHalurkar (now a PhD student at Purdue). https://t.co/gDIrJBIxBH
In a perspective on brown adipose tissue (BAT), Dr. Aaron Cypess (@acypess) and a team of international investigators discuss six debated topics related to BAT, proposing experiments to resolve each one and advance the field https://t.co/79k1Y0qN5d @Cell_Metabolism
Aging, at the cellular level: @CornellEng researchers have created the most comprehensive portrait to date of how muscle cells lose the ability to regenerate in aging mice. @NatureAging@bdcosgrove@CornellBME@CornellGrad https://t.co/j7IIC0S8Ps
Congrats Kate Korobkina et al for our @NatMetabolism paper online now showing that in brown fat—a thermogenic tissue famous for generating vast amounts of acetyl-CoA in mitochondria—cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthesis also matters…ALOT. Find out why here: https://t.co/jTZrpFA8uC
Exciting news! We have an open position in Biomedical Sciences @Cornell in cancer biology, specifically tumor microenvironment. Scientific excellence, collaborative environment, inclusive community, and beautiful location! Apply here: https://t.co/XW5pW9bq0B
@cornellvet
Thrilled to share our lab's first manuscript, featuring the brilliant work of @tamiserdan, @hcervant19, and Benji Frank! We've identified a new niche factor and signaling axes that regulate brown fat innervation, angiogenesis, and thermogenesis🔥 https://t.co/i6IVmeuPQb
