A sweet take on peroxisomes: https://t.co/Ya5IDWJQrM
J. Jason Collier @Collier_Lab Susan J. Burke @Burke_Lab & team @PBRCNews discover small cellular structures called peroxisomes are essential for insulin-producing cells to work properly and without them, insulin release and cell maturity become impaired.
The image represents reduced colocalization of Acox1(green) and PMP70 (red) in β cells from mice with pancreas-specific deletion of Pex5 compared with WT; isulin (blue).

Extremely proud of this one! This year's main video highilghts what goes on behind the scenes at Pennington Biomedical and the people to help us remain one of the top research institutions in the world
Pennington Biomedical is uniquely positioned in the world of research due to its world-class facilities that include basic, clinical, and population scientists. Dr. Jason Collier and Dr. Susan Burke are two top scientists whose research impacts the health of Louisianans and our nation as a whole. Check out our video to learn more about the influential work being done here at Pennington Biomedical. #ScholarshipFirst #WBTTW #PBRCresearch
New in JBC press: "Pancreatic expression of CPT1A is essential for whole body glucose homeostasis by supporting glucose-stimulated insulin secretion."

Excited to share this collaborative effort to better begin to understand how glucocorticoid therapy may actually contribute to a medication-induced diabetes.

On Friday, our #PBRCfam gathered to celebrate the 2023 Publication of the Year Award. Held to spotlight those publications that move the research field forward and contribute to the collective bank of knowledge, the team of researchers behind the selected publication, "FGF21 is required for protein restrictions to extend lifespan and improve metabolic health in male mice" published in Nature Communications, received $10,000 and a framed copy of the publication's front page. #ScholarshipFirst
