JCI - Blocking extracellular glycine uptake mediated by GlyT1 mitigates protoporphyria

Thank you @jclinical-invest.bsky.social for inviting me to write a commentary about the original study published yesterday by Ducamp and colleagues, which shows a metabolic strategy to treat protoporphyrias. Commentary: www.jci.org/articles/vie.... Article: www.jci.org/articles/vie....

My mistake. Got conditioned by the previous post about the panel scheduled for the same day as this one, but being delayed by absence of posting. It seems that posting dates can vary significantly between study sections then.

This one was posted today and the meeting is tomorrow. Maybe postings are delayed?

Preprint alert!! How zonated hepatocytes adapt to changes in lipid influx due to fasting or a Western diet (WD). We developed a microscopy-based phenotyping method called single-cell phenomics (scPhenomics) to measure the features of mitochondria and lipid droplets (LDs).

Do β€˜blue zones,’ supposed havens of longevity, rest on shaky science? Critics say extraordinary life spans reflect faulty record keeping, not healthy lifestyles

SHADES OF BLUE

Blue zones, supposed havens of longevity, have become a global brand. But skeptics think they rest on shaky science

Inceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in β cells - Nature Metabolism The insulin inhibitory receptor (inceptor) is found to bind to insulin and to regulate insulin stores by directing proinsulin and insulin towards lysosomal degradation.

Thrilled to share one of our biggest discoveries: β€œInceptor binds to and directs insulin towards lysosomal degradation in beta cells”.

A profile picture of Douglas Prasher from Martin Chalfie's Nobel Lecture

Do you know who Douglas Prasher is? Many don't, even though he is the person who cloned the original #GFP gene in the late 1980s. In my short history of plant light #microscopy I also cover a bit of his story - & why he is relatively unknown today, despite the importance of his work. See this πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
