Congratulations Will Scott and team @mrc-lms.bsky.social on some fantastic work looking at how adipose tissue remodels in obesity and weight loss.
A new study, published today in Nature, reveals the hidden benefits of weight loss on fat tissue.
A better understanding of how weight loss leads to health improvements at a molecular level could help inform the development of therapies for diseases such as type 2 diabetes in the future.

Aspartate signalling drives lung metastasis via alternative translation - Nature
Aspartate in the tumour environment activates the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor in cancer cells to induce cellular programmes that increase the aggressiveness of metastasis.
