@JoeBass91471540 Congrats!

[Caner Saygin, MD @CanerSaygin]

Voting has started for #ASH26 elections.
We are rooting for Wendy Stock @DrWendyStock running for Vice President!
She is an incredible hematologist, researcher, mentor, sponsor and advocate. She made enormous impact on so many lives and careers, including mine.
So please vote!

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:

@ErnstLengyel @KunleOdunsiMD @Nature @OvCa_UChicago Great paper, congrats 👏

[UChicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center @UCCancerCenter]

🔥 Hot off the press: In a new @Nature study, @ErnstLengyel and team show that blocking NNMT in tumor-supporting cells restores immune response & stops ovarian cancer growth, offering a new strategy for hard to treat cancers. @OvCa_UChicago @uchicago_obgyn

New paper from @BunkJakub and Mina Ersin in our lab: CKB is the key creatine kinase driving UCP1-independent #thermogenesis in beige fat via the futile creatine cycle (FCC).

[Lawrence Kazak @kazaklab]

Today in @NatureComms, we show the #FutileCreatineCycle plays a key role in #thermogenesis, independent of UCP1. We also challenge the belief that brown adipocytes lack enough ATP synthase for thermogenesis. Congrats @BunkJakub! Full paper: https://t.co/8kUYDxw6qD @McGillGCI
