[Heather Group @Heatherlab_ox]

🚨New from our group in @CircRes
We identify a FoxO1-zDHHC4-CD36 S-acylation axis driving metabolic + contractile dysfunction in the diabetic heart.
Blocking this pathway reprograms FA metabolism and improves heart function.

Same spot, 3 days later, after an amazing conference and…a best ECI presentation award! Thank you again @ishr2025 @QKarwi for the opportunity to present some of my research in the @JussherLab. Had a great time reconnecting with old colleagues and getting to meet some new ones!

[Jordan Chan @JordanSFChan]

Thank you to @ISHR_ECI @QKarwi for giving me the opportunity to present some of my research at the #ISHR2025 ECI Symposium today in Nara, Japan!!

Here it is proposed that halofuginone, a FDA–approved anti-scleroderma and antiprotozoal drug, is a promising anti-#obesity agent acting via FGF-21 and GDF-15 in preclinical mouse and pig models @ScienceAdvances #weightloss https://t.co/rmRSPkdSJG

@janicekung Thanks Janice!

[Jordan Chan @JordanSFChan]

Thank you for going easy on me 🙏

[John R. Ussher @JussherLab]

A big CONGRATS to @JordanSFChan , who successfully passed his #CandidacyExam this morning! Really proud seeing how much he has matured as a #scientist since joining the lab May 2021

[Jordan Chan @JordanSFChan]

@ArnoSiraki Thank you very much Dr. Siraki!

[Jordan Chan @JordanSFChan]

@LiyelouisFang Congratulations!!

[John R. Ussher @JussherLab]

So this Monday was the 10 year #anniversary of the lab (time flies!!) and a very eventful week, starting with a presentation on #GLP1 receptor agonists and #cardiovascular #outcomes at the fantastic @MacMODR Annual Research Symposium

[christina saed @SaedChristina]

Happy for my labmatte @Amurtab
Congratulations 👏 🎉 you worked hard and you deserve it!

[UAlberta Pharmacy @UAlberta_Pharm]

New anti-obesity drug shows promise in preventing heart failure related to Type 2 diabetes.

John Ussher finds experimental weight loss drug GDF15 improves heart function in mice with diabetes, independent of its weight loss effects.

It’s been an incredible journey completing my PhD at @JussherLab . Excited to start my postdoc at @DrGregSteinberg lab! I wasn’t expecting this but I’m honored to receive #CIHR Postdoctoral Fellowship. Thanks to @CIHR_IRSC for this opportunity. Looking forward to the new chapter
