Our paper is finally published! fun and awesome collaboration with Yi-Chun Chen, PhD and Bruce Verchere focused on understanding PC1/3 loss in beta cells and the concomitant increase in alpha cells during the development of type 1 diabetes. link.springer.com/article/10.100β¦

Excited to share our new paper in Scientific Reports showing reduced GLP-1R levels and perturbed cell-specific transcriptional programs in islets from CFRD subjects. rdcu.be/dYli7 Thanks to all co-authors, including Sina Gharib and Rebecca Hull-Meichle for their contributions.

This is great! NIAID News have launched a collection of public domain illustrations (currently 550 individual icons) bioart.niaid.nih.gov


New: We investigated why lack of prohormone convertase 1/3 (PC1/3) in mice leads to sepsis hypersensitivity. We find that there is no role for PC1/3 in immune cells and that lack of PC1/3 in the HPA axis β‘οΈ less steroids is responsible for this phenotype. academic.oup.com/jes/article-abβ¦
