Terrific collaborative work just published Cell Metabolism with Suneil Koliwad Josh Thaler John Douglass Kelly M. Ness and colleagues about the role of microglia in the regulation of glucose homeostasis.


Microglia can be manipulated to impact CNS control of weight gain and glucose control. But what do hypothalamic microglia do? We now explore this in newborn mice, with fascinating results. Congrats to Martín Valdearcos and our outstanding team! Diabetes Center at UCSF UCSF_NORC UC San Francisco

Today we welcome Dr Martin Martín Valdearcos from the Diabetes Center at the University of California Diabetes Center at UCSF who is meeting with our PIs and delivering our Tuesday lunchtime seminar on 'The role of microglia as hypothalamic regulators of metabolic homeostasis'
