Refeeding after #fasting can lead to a "#FatOvershoot." @goldstein_lab @cumminslab &co examine the kinetics of #refeeding-induced transcriptional & chromatin changes, revealing a #lipogenic overshoot program regulated by the TF LXRα #PLOSBiology https://t.co/LpXnpHgPoS

[Ido Goldstein @goldstein_lab]

Excited to share the lab's latest paper published @PLOSBiology. Together with @cumminslab, we found that refeeding following a period of fasting leads to temporally-organized changes in chromatin landscape and gene expression. 1/2 https://t.co/UYH1oc0qvX

Happy Friday! Pleased to share a short perspective on the interesting discovery by Auger et al. that TCA metabolite #itaconate is an important mediator of #glucocorticoid anti-inflammatory effects! #GR #NuclearReceptor --@Trends_Endo_Met 👇👇👇https://t.co/Njh4GRi0G4

Love @CarolynLCummins presentation about her career journey. So inspirational and moving. As scientists we constantly face challenges, but it’s up to us to overcome them and learn from them.

Okay, if you say "Lumos" into your phone's microphone 🎤, your flashlight will turn on and if you say "nox," it will turn off.
Who freaking knew?

Very proud of trainee @michael_saikali for winning 🏆 Professor of the Year🏆for his teaching in #Pharmacokinetics to @UofTPharmacy students!! Way to go!!! 🎉

[Florian Le Billan @flolebill]

We show it’s an under appreciated consequence of steroid signaling which deserves full consideration in future #transcriptomic studies.
Check it out on the last @Endocrinology issue!

Have you ever wondered how steroid hormones impact #RNA #AlternativeSplicing? @GloriaUmogbai @CarolynLCummins and I reviewed the lesser known roles of steroid hormones in mRNA alternative splicing & describe underlying mechanisms 🧬
