Our lab focuses on understanding adipose stem cells and their role in adipose tissue development, homeostasis, obesogenic expansion and thermogenesis

[Lawrence Kazak @kazaklab]

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:

I’m thrilled to co-organize the 2nd #AdiposeBiology with @sung4400, @beaudrj, and @SableSys in Montreal on Oct 7-9 2026!🇨🇦. Great lineup again.

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

[Lawrence Kazak @kazaklab]

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.

🌟 Last talk of the morning session!
We welcome Yuwei Jiang from the University of Illinois Chicago
She’s sharing an exciting story on adipose tissue progenitor cells 🔬

The Blum lab is recruiting graduate students and postdocs to work on projects focused on food allergy and oral tolerance! Join our new group at the Salk Institute! Grad students: Reach out to me if you're interested in a rotation! Postdoc candidates: https://t.co/DVG4kIcb9B

[Tolunay Beker Aydemir @BekerAydemir]

On this fine July Friday, we know what you need: a discussion on ZIP family zinc transporters relevant to β Cell Function and Insulin Regulation. We are happy to share our review in The Journal of Nutrition!

@JudithSimcox @Cell_Metabolism @_JessDavidson @HHMINEWS @UWBiochem Congrats Judy and team!

[Sanchez-Gurmaches Lab @JSG_Lab]

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

[Cornell Chronicle @CornellNews]

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

[Dave Guertin @guertin_lab]

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

[Praveen Sethupathy @PraveenSethup]

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

[Farnaz Shamsi @FarnazShamsi]

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
