Distinct neurons, distinct functions 🧠🟤 Our Nature Metabolism paper (now out!) shows that separate sympathetic projections to brown adipose tissue independently control thermogenesis and glucose tolerance. Congrats Daniele Neri and team 🥳 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

Distinct sympathetic projections to brown fat regulate thermogenesis and glucose tolerance - Nature Metabolism

Neri et al. develop elegant tools to understand how the sympathetic nervous system regulates intrascapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) function. Using these tools, they find that sympathetic nerves ta...

Always a pleasure hearing from Dr. Joe Bass and this time around was no different! Thank you Joe for visiting and sharing the recent work from your lab!

Wishing everyone a warm holiday season and a happy new year!

Changing of the leaves means a lab retreat! Great day with the lab complete with discussing new ideas, a walk through Central Park for a brain break, and quite the sunset to cap the day off!

A great collaborative effort with @zeltserlab.bsky.social and colleagues, now in press, thank you NIDDK! academic.oup.com/edrv/advance...
