My most recent publication is now available to read on @apsphysiology.bsky.social Physiological Genomics. This collaborative study took me waaay outside my comfort zone, looking at microbial profiles in the context of both obesity and menopause. Check it out! journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Crosstalk Between Obesogenic Diet and Estrogen Drives Distinct Microbiota Profiles in Ovariectomized Mice | Physiological Genomics | American Physiological Society
The menopausal transition is associated with an increased obesity risk, which can be ameliorated by hormone replacement therapy. However, the independent and interactive effects of obesity and menopau...

Congratulations to Taylor Scheidl, the senior PhD student in the Thompson lab, on her new preprint 🎉 She showed that offspring born to obese dams are more likely to become obese due to more proliferation in early-life adipose progenitors, which leads to higher adipocyte numbers.
We have a new preprint! A major part of Taylor's PhD research is now available to read on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Hyper-proliferation of Adipose Progenitors During Developmental Adipogenesis Programs Higher Adipocyte Number and Early-onset Obesity in Offspring Born to Obese Dams
Being born to a mother who was obese during pregnancy is one of the strongest predictors of early onset obesity and metabolic syndrome. To identify the developmental mechanism linking maternal obesity...
