🚨 Extremely happy to see our new paper on stellate cell biology now online at @Cell_Metabolism 🙌🏼 Hepatic stellate cells are more than quiescent pericytes in healthy liver. They regulate hepatocytes energy preference during fasting ‼️🧩🐭

🏆 The Helmholtz Diabetes Lecture Award goes to 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗿 (@UTSWMedCenter), sponsored by the DZD (@DiabResearch)!

His lecture on “Hormonal harmonies” is a true highlight and a perfect conclusion to the conference.

Congratulations! 🎉

#HelmholtzDiabetes2025
🚀 Welcome to the 12th Helmholtz Diabetes Conference at Helmholtz Munich!

At this conference, experts in the fields of #diabetes and #obesity from all over the world gather to share their latest findings. As part of its tradition, the conference also highlights an additional focus topic: This year, leading experts in metabolic liver disease will contribute their expertise.

Why is research on liver health important for #DiabetesResearch?
👉 Check out the #video with Prof. Stephan Herzig!

👨‍🔬 Prof. Stephan Herzig, host of the Helmholtz Diabetes Conference, is Research Director at #HelmholtzMunich, Director and Department Head of the Helmholtz Diabetes Center, and Director of the Institute for Diabetes and Cancer.

👩‍🔬 Co-host is Prof. Anja Zeigerer, Helmholtz Munich, and Professor at the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University.

Our new paper, "NK2R control of energy expenditure and feeding to treat metabolic diseases," is out today in @Nature.
Here we identify a single receptor that can both peripherally increase energy expenditure and centrally suppress appetite.

Danish study shows that previously unknown changes in the liver’s stellate cells show potential for the future treatment of MASH 🔍

The results were published in Journal of Hepatology (@JHepatology).
