Excited to share my latest postdoc work on systemic metabolic homeostasis! We show that nutrient consumption fluxes compete, and this competitive catabolism helps explain why obesity drives diabetes. Explore the model with our interactive web app: compcat.princeton.edu

Excited to share our latest preprint in which we integrate mathematical modeling with experimental approaches to investigate how ⬆️ temperature influences aberrant RNA synthesis and innate immunity in flu infection 🦠
Flu infection => temperature⬆️ => NP levels⬇️ => aberrant RNAs⬆️ => interferon⬆️. Elegant modeling and experimental work by @karishmabisht.bsky.social and @danielweilandt.bsky.social! Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Last talk of morning 1 at METPHYS2025 Daniel Weilandt is working to convince us that hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia sustain lipid homeostasis in obesity

Exited to present my latest PostDoc work at METPHYS2025. Looking forward to connecting with everyone there.
Here's the final program, for METPHYS2025

Really looking forward to the third edition of the Metabolic Physiology Meeting in 3 weeks !

If you haven't already registered, the link will stay open until April 15.

Hope to see you there!

Elevated lactate is a hallmark of human disease. In our latest work in the Rabinowitz lab, Won Dong Lee and I uncover how multiple mechanisms work in concert to robustly maintain lactate levels.

Lactate homeostasis is maintained through regulation of glycolysis and lipolysis
Lactate elevations are a hallmark of human disease, but the mechanisms regulating lactate levels remain poorly understood. Here, Lee et al. elucidate the mechanisms of lactate homeostasis. These invol...

lysosome experts! if you are trying to show that a stimulus increases lysosome mass/activity, how would you demonstrate that? (pls reskee)
