🥳 Paper accepted in #JMolEndo @socendocrinology.bsky.social - great work by Nuria Lopez Alcantara on the role of #deiodinase I in #MASH. Stay tuned for the full version in the next 24 hours! Spoiler alert: Dio1 is not the key to fixing MASH. At least not by itself...

I was interviewed for "Coffee with a Scientist" (in German) in the framework of our @dfg.de funded SFB1665 SexDiversity. Most proud about the fact hat I managed to get my #SuperMario magnet set in the shot!

Home & Overview - CRC/TR 296 LocoTact Collaborative Research Centre / Transregio 296: Local Control of Thyroid Hormone Action (LOCOTACT)

Today is the last day of #LocoTact, our @dfg.de funded TRR296 consortium. A sad day for German #thyroid research, as we produced a lot of good science in the past 5 years, contributed to many different symposia and conferences, and educated many excellent junior researchers.

Delighted to see that our @bioscientifica.bsky.social #ETJ has increased its IF to 4.3! If you have thyroid research to publish, this is the place to go! etj.bioscientifica.com
Also, Thyroid's IF is higher than Mol Met - because the #thyroid is just more important than #diabetes. Yes, I said it...

Interestingly, when you order mouse breeding pairs from @jacksonlab.bsky.social via #CharlesRiver Deutschland, they don't guarantee that you get fertile animals. But still charge full price. Thanks for nothing...

🥳 Score! According to the most recent #ScholarGPS rankings, we are the most productive #thyroid hormone researchers in the past 5 years! Also Top 10 for total ranking (out of 8429). I just wish random rankings in narrow fields of expertise would immediately result in more 💰💰

🥳 I do like letters that start like this! @dfg.de has granted our proposal on thyroid hormone action in the regulation of heart rate, so we can continue our journey that started with the TRR296 LocoTact for another 3 years at the @uniluebeck.bsky.social!
