UCLA scientists led by @ClaudioVillanu have found a way to make fat cells skinny. The discovery could lead to new therapies for Type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases that work by helping fat stem cells differentiate and make new, smaller fat cells. stemcell.ucla.edu/news/ucla-rese…
Alex: Looking forward to my visit next week and spending some time in Quebec!!
We are excited to welcome @ClaudioVillanu (@UCLA) next Wednesday for the 7th conference of the 2025 #ObesitySeminarSeries at @IUCPQ!
The abstract submission deadline for the 2nd edition of our #EMBOLipidDroplets Workshop (21-26 September 2025) is approaching. Check out the agenda with an amazing lineup of speakers and submit your abstract before 10 June 2025! @EMBO @Co_Biologists meetings.embo.org/event/25-lipid…

Congrats Shingo @KajimuraLab. What a wonderful distinction.
Yay Shingo! • Shingo Kajimura, PhD is the recipient of the 2025 Outstanding Scientific Achievement Award of the ADA, which recognizes research in diabetes that demonstrates particular independence of thought and originality. @KajimuraLab
Happy to share the final version of our new paper published in @NatureComms describing a novel inducible, tissue specific #PolG mutation mouse model, that provides interesting insights into muscle specific #mitochondria induced stress responses nature.com/articles/s4146…
It was a great pleasure to organize this meeting with Ruth, Paul and Christian. Congrats to all the award recipients.
We've wrapped up another fantastic joint meeting! Join us in celebrating the outstanding achievements of the award winners from Obesity and Adipose Tissue / MASH! #KSObesity25 #KSMASH25 #keystonesymposia #keystoneconferences @ClaudioVillanu @WolfrumLab
So many concerns. Pubmed @NIH is down. The search engine for biomedical research is no longer available. This is the canary in the coal mine.
OK PubMed is down It's run by the NIH and the main way to search for academic papers. If this isn't a temporary thing , and is a Trump/Musk doing, academics around the world are royally screwed right now.
Effective today, new regulations on how @NIH grants can be spent will gut lifesaving research funding by hundreds of millions of dollars annually. UC has submitted a declaration in support of the California Attorney General’s suit to block these cuts. bit.ly/4hs4pY0
We're proud to celebrate Dr. Elizabeth Tarling who was honored with the American Heart Association ATVB Council Special Recognition Award in Vascular Biology for 2024. This award underscores her impactful research in lipid metabolism and heart disease: uclahs.fyi/3VkYDyx
Fat Cells in Full Bloom! Check out our cover on @CellReports @CellPress @ClaudioVillanu @uclaibp 1/5 In a vibrant homage to Van Gogh's iconic Sunflowers, we introduce the Rosiflowers - a wonder born from the fertile depths of the adipose stromal vascular fraction.
Excited to share our latest work in @CellReports highlighting a PPARγ-dependent remodeling of translation machinery in adipose progenitors. Amazing collab between our lab @ClaudioVillanu @YangLabUCLA and @LauraHulea @CellPressNews @uclaibp cell.com/cell-reports/f…

"One email at a time, one informational interview after another, I became comfortable, confident, and strategic in building my network of mentors." One mentor isn’t enough. On #NationalMentoringDay, read this #ScienceWorkingLife essay from 2021 to learn how @DrErikaMoore built…
Join us for the 2025 Obesity and Adipose Tissue #Keytstone Meeting in Banff. We are looking forward to stimulating presentations from leading researchers across the world. Consider submitting abstract to share your most exciting science. youtu.be/-HREW7CMhbg?si… via @YouTube
John Jumper went from getting a PhD to getting a Nobel Prize in just seven years!
BREAKING NEWS The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry with one half to David Baker “for computational protein design” and the other half jointly to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper “for protein structure prediction.”
