Last conference for the year for me is IUPS 2025. Yesterday was the well-attended symposium ”GLP-1 Receptor Agonists - a Magic Bullet Beyond Diabetes and Obesity?” Chaired by Prof. Stefan Trapp @trapp-lab.bsky.social Maybe I’m
biased but a great symposium indeed! @ccmnlondon.bsky.social

Fluorescent GLP1R/GIPR dual agonist probes reveal cell targets in the pancreas and brain - Nature Metabolism A series of fluorescent probes is designed that act as dual agonists on both GLP1 and GIP receptors, and are used to image receptor binding activities in tissues and animals.

Interested in brain access for Tirzepatide-based drugs? Have a look at the fluorescent Tirzepatide analogue developed by Johannes Broichhagen and David Hodson @daveyboyhod.bsky.social‬ out now in Nature Metabolism www.nature.com/articles/s42.... Proud to contribute to this great multi-lab effort.

Redirecting

The Trapp Lab has moved to BlueSky. No better way to start this than with a new paper.
We are excited to alert you to the latest study on the involvement of brain GLP-1 in stress responses led by our @CCMN_London and Trapp Lab
alumni @MKBHolt
