A fascinating talk by Ormond MacDougald about so many aspects of adipose tissue: #BoneMarrowAdipocyte effects on bone & immune function, cool adaptation & lipid metabolism, #lipodystrophy and more! We’re delighted to have him as part of our metabolic research community this year.

Congratulations Karla Suchacki for her excellent Early Career Prize Lecture at #SfEBES2022! Karla have a brilliant talk on her extensive research into #AdiposeTissue, #bone & metabolic health.

Another excellent visit from one of our colleagues Rowett Institute & Aberdeen Cardiovascular and Diabetes Centre. Thanks to Will Cawthorn for hosting, and to Sphamandla Ntshangase for organising the "meet the speaker" session for our #Postdoc and #PhD researchers!

A dilemma: on 6th Sept. we sent a manuscript to an Elsevier journal. Ever since, it's shown as 'With Editor' in their submission system. Surely it can't take 3 months to send for peer review?! 😱😖 What's the longest you've had to wait for a paper to be sent for review?

Congratulations Nik and all co-authors for this beautiful study!

Excellent #PhD opportunity with Prof Roland Stimson here EdinUniCVS, investigating how #lactate influences #BrownAdiposeTissue. The project includes Will Cawthorn as 2nd supervisor and an exciting collaboration with AstraZeneca. Apply now! findaphd.com/phds/project/t…

Delighted to share that we will soon recruit a PhD student starting in autumn working on obesity-associated kidney damage UoD Medicine , in collaboration with Prof Richard Coward. This project is generously funded by Diabetes UK Diabetes UK Research Get in touch if interested!

The 46th Adipose Tissue Discussion Group meeting has begun! Delegates have come from around the world, and we welcomed everyone last night with a great dinner at the The Scotch Whisky Experience. We look forward to more interesting interactions & discussions over the next two days! #ATDG46

Our paper on #SexDifferenes in #CaloricRestriction is finally published today in eLife - the journal. I couldn't be happier! The effects of caloric restriction on adipose tissue and metabolic health are sex- and age-dependent doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… Key findings (mice & humans) include... 1/7

Many congratulations 🎉 ⁦Carlos Sánchez-Soriano⁩ on successful PhD viva! Thanks to examiners ⁦Rachel Freathy⁩ & Clara Calvert! Time to enjoy Edinburgh Sunshine! Ewan Pearson ⁦EdiPregResearch⁩ ⁦EdinUniMetabolism⁩ ⁦Medical Research Council⁩ #MVMPrecisionMedDTP

Beautiful work from Karla Suchacki and Prof Roland Stimson’s group here EdinUniCVS, EdinUniMetabolism & Edinburgh Imaging 💙, just published in Nature Metabolism. Congratulations to all involved!

Great work British Heart Foundation PhD student Shaden EdinUniCVS collaboration with Yang Luo, Harry Van Goor, Amalia Dolga (Groningen U), Laurent Chatre (Normandie U) Martin Feelisch (Southhampton). #TST deficiency impact on brain redox doi.org/10.1016/j.redo…

A new year, and a new paper from our lab! 🥳 "A novel deep learning method for large-scale analysis of bone marrow adiposity using UK Biobank Dixon MRI data" - Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal csbj.org/article/S2001-… 1/8

Great opportunity to work in the team of one of our newest PIs, supported by an Medical Research Council Career Development Award. Please share!

New paper out now in Euro J Endocrinology (doi.org/10.1093/ejendo…) demonstrating proof of concept that corticosterone may be a safer glucocorticoid replacement strategy for the treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Adipose tissue generates heat even in the absence of UCP1. How does it work? Our new work identifies a molecular “resistor” of Ca2+ cycling that makes heat and controls energy metabolism through a UCP1-independent mechanism. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Beautiful new paper from Shingo Kajimura Lab, with contributions from our very own Prof Roland Stimson and María Paula Huertas Caycedo! This study reveals mechanisms underlying UCP1-independent thermogenesis, with implications for systemic metabolic health. Congrats to all involved!
