The Rockefeller University is a world-renowned center for research and graduate education in the biomedical sciences, chemistry, bioinformatics and physics.
This #WorldDiabetesDay we're highlighting Rockefeller's own Svetlana Mojsov, whose work on GLP-1 led to a new class drugs for type 2 diabetes as well as the treatment of obesity.

The first detailed look at how mosquitoes mate from @leslievosshall.bsky.social's lab reverses the assumption that male mosquitoes control the process, finding that a subtle female behavior dictates whether mating will take place or not. @currentbiology.bsky.social

As body weight fluctuates, fat cells—collectively known as adipose tissue—wax and wane. Mascha Koenen, of the #CohenLab, is studying why this oscillation wreaks havoc on the body’s metabolism, especially in the case of yo-yo dieting.
