Brilliant and paradigm shaking new story by Vishwa Deep Dixit's team out this month @naturemetabolism.bsky.social -"Cysteine depletion triggers adipose tissue thermogenesis and weight loss". Congratulations to Deep, Aileen and the entire team on this important work. 🤯

Cysteine depletion triggers adipose tissue thermogenesis and weight loss - Nature Metabolism
The authors describe how reduced dietary availability and systemic loss of cysteine leads to adipose tissue browning and rapid weight loss in mice and humans.

#WeAreWhatWeEat! #EveryCellIsAnImmuneCell! Dixit, Lee &co show @natmetabolism.nature.com that caloric restriction depletes cysteines, driving weight loss & browning of white adipose tissue via sympathetic nervous system-derived noradrenaline signaling, reversing metabolic inflammation in obese mice!

I wish this was sensationalized or exaggerated - but the impact on US biomedical research outlined in this report is, unfortunately, very much real.
Scientists fear Trump administration cuts to NIH could impact the health of Americans for generations
Former National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins, who abruptly left his NIH research lab in February, fears aggressive downsizing could impact Americans' health.

Host defense involves both resistance and disease tolerance, a concept elegantly demonstrated in lung viral infection by @yeungadventures.bsky.social @payalyokota.bsky.social @khannakm.bsky.social and colleagues. Spread the word!!

Online now: Nerve- and airway-associated interstitial macrophages mitigate SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis via type I interferon signaling
Nerve- and airway-associated interstitial macrophages mitigate SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis via type I interferon signaling
The local immunoregulatory mechanisms that safeguard the host from excessive lung infection inflammation remain unclear. Yeung, Yokota et al. uncover the essential role of nerve- and airway-associated macrophages (NAMs) in mitigating SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis. NAMs regulate viral spread and inflammation through type I interferon signaling, revealing their critical function in disease tolerance and potential as therapeutic targets for respiratory viral infections.
