Anni Zhang (Anni Zhang, Ph.D.) in Jim Johnson, PhD's lab at UBC Life Sciences Institute has found that lowering insulin levels in mice predisposed to developing #PancreaticCancer protected them against developing the disease. bit.ly/2YygYf7

Get excited for this Vancouver Public Library talk, and learn how researchers are working to save our Oceans! Also, learn about life on an icebreaker in the Arctic! Check out this talk this Tuesday, 17th, at 7pm! With UBC Profs Dr. Tortell and Dr. Allen! vpl.bibliocommons.com/events/5d3b798… UBC Science Benoit-Antoine Bacon

#EASD2019 Anni Zhang, Ph.D. presenting new work on her pancreatic cancer project. Hyperinsulinemia helps drive PanIN formation. Now we have some interesting single cell RNAseq data and a model with an even more modest reduction in circulating insulin.

Looks like an excellent and low-cost #STEM option for elementary and higg school classrooms!

Thanks Assaf Luxembourg ! Masa Israel Journey

Beta-cell specific insulin resistance promotes glucose-stimulated insulin hypersecretion disq.us/t/3sac9uf Excited to share this bioRxiv / massive undertaking from Søs Skovsø, PhD & team UBC Life Sciences Institute . Tweetorial coming (gotta beat Daniel J Drucker to the tweet)

Really interesting paper and a good twitter summary - Thanks Jim Johnson, PhD for retweeting first. As a grad student this (somewhat) answers a longstanding question of why so many biological processes involve multi-protein machinery.

This is the biopsy of a patient with a mechanical heart valve and acute kidney injury, requiring hemodialysis. What is your diagnosis? #renalpath
