Delighted to share our latest now published in@NatureComms, where we found a new role for mitochondrial programming of SC-β cell fate through PPARα!

We're excited for the potential to target mitochondria to improve SC-islets to treat #T1D!

🚨 New paper from our lab in BMC Methods!
We describe a simple, rapid, and cost-effective method to identify subcutaneously transplanted pancreatic human islet grafts using dithizone (DTZ) staining. #diabetes #stemcells #islets 🧵

@RPC_3312 Congrats Ram and team! Phenomenal new work!!!

[Shilatifard Lab @ShilatifardLab]

Congratulations to Chandel lab for demonstrating that a metabolite once considered purely “toxic” may actually be a key signaling molecule in cells and organisms. This study demonstrates that l-2-HG functions in signaling by regulating epigenetic state via KDM4/H3K9me3 demethylase and linking redox state to transcriptional repression. The study provides initial words in “Metabolic Language” of transcription. https://t.co/VGUTYlhsk3 @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed @Nature @CellPressNews @ScienceMagazine @MolecularCell @theNASciences @theNAMedicine @NorthwesternU @NatMetabolism
