☀️ #Sunlight impacts #skin cells in surprising ways. While UVA harms metabolism, red light boosts it in keratinocytes. A new study by @aliciakowaltowski.bsky.social et al. shows activation of AMPK-dependent fatty acid oxidation, enhancing proliferation & energy use.

A biologia das diferenças entre os sexos
Reprodução sexuada é uma vantagem adaptativa, ‘inventada’ para poder responder de forma mais dinâmica a ambientes instáveis
[opinião] “Reconhecer diferenças biológicas inatas e como elas surgem ajuda a elaborar melhores estratégias educacionais e de políticas públicas.” Leia na coluna de Alicia Kowaltowski.

I agree!!
I also do not understand when reviewers criticize whole membrane protein quantity as an "inadequate" normalizer (happens to me a lot) - it is much better than any single protein!

Can we please stop using GAPDH as a "loading control", particularly in metabolic studies??

Thanks! We still need to identify the innitial light sensor(s) to answer those questions, upstream of AMPK. Still have work ahead...

Very true.

Thanks! All credit goes to Alejandro Herrera, who I will admit had the very hard task of convincing me these results were real...

Most strikingly, red light promotes an increase in mitochondrial electron transport which is cell-specific, and independent of changes in oxidative phosphorylation machinery.

Our newest publication is out, and it is most certainly a colorful one!!
Using carefully controlled experiments in keratinocytes, we show that different light wavelengths affect cell metabolism and integrity in different manners.

Como a cruzada de Trump contra a ciência afeta todo mundo
Destruição do progresso científico promovida pelo presidente norte-americano deve abalar os alicerces do conhecimento global por décadas
[opinião] “Nunca antes me ocorreu que o país líder em pesquisa poderia ser presidido por alguém que se posiciona contra aquilo que faz dele uma superpotência.” Leia na coluna de Alicia Kowaltowski.
