Making America great means supporting research that saves lives, improves health, and drives new technology. Freezing NIH funding hurts all of us. Let’s tell our leaders to INCREASE funding for the NIH and keep America at the forefront of science and innovation!

Scientific advancements aside, this is economically irresponsible Every $1 spent by NIH generates $2.46 For example, in 2023, $47B in NIH spending generated ~$93B Halting NIH spending will LOSE the US a lot of money (and talent)

New work led by Liora Katz at Mt. Sinai along with colleagues of a non-degrading molecular glue between a TF (ChREBP) and a 14-3-3 protein which effectively traps the TF in the nucleus, thereby preventing activation of its target genes in the nucleus. Congratulations! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Molecular glues of the regulatory ChREBP/14-3-3 complex protect beta cells from glucolipotoxicity

The Carbohydrate Response Element Binding Protein (ChREBP) is a glucose-responsive transcription factor (TF) with two major splice isoforms (α and β). In chronic hyperglycemia and glucolipotoxicity, C...
