Grateful to the American Diabetes Association @amdiabetesassn.bsky.social for the opportunity to make a short film about our lab at Stanford University. We talk about peptides and their roles in metabolic health.

Prohormone cleavage prediction uncovers a non-incretin anti-obesity peptide - Nature Computational drug discovery is used to identify a 12-mer peptide derived from BRINP2 with potent anti-obesity effects that are independent of leptin, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor and melanocortin...

Today in @Nature, we share our latest paper. We developed an algorithm to predict novel peptides cleaved by proconvertases across all human tissues. Using this method, we identified BRP, a brain-derived anti-obesity peptide 🧠

Cooperative nutrient scavenging is an evolutionary advantage in cancer - Nature Nutrient-starved tumour cells cooperate by secreting aminopeptidases that digest oligopeptides in the microenvironment, creating a shared pool of free amino acids.

New research from the lab of Institute Scholar Jonathan Z. Long, led by first author MarΓ­a Dolores Moya GarzΓ³n, identifies a new metabolic pathway that helps explain the molecular links between ketogenic diets and body weight regulation.

Sharing our receng paper in Cell Systems that demonstrates how AlphaFold can predict the binding between ligands and cell surface receptors. Congrats Niels and co-authors from K.C. Garcia lab

Stochastic neuropeptide signals compete to calibrate the rate of satiation Nature - Release of hunger-promoting and satiety-promoting neuropeptides drives opposing changes in the second messenger cAMP in awake mouse paraventricular hypothalamic MC4R neurons, thereby...

Stephen Zhang and the team found that in vivo peptide release and signaling gradually enhances responses of satiety-promoting hypothalamic neurons to each bite of food. These consequences of each bite take minutes to manifest, and could help explain why slow eating enhances satiety. rdcu.be/dZlI3
