Interesting article below: Semaglutide Reduces Cardiomyocyte Size and Cardiac Mass in Lean and Obese Mice | JACC: Basic to Translational Science jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… I hope mechanistic insights can be delivered soon!

A comparison of mouse vs human tumor microenvironments shows a major difference. Mouse TMEs have more macrophages, while human TMEs have more T cells. Chemokine expression patterns are also different. Learn more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Metformin, the first line drug for Type 2 diabetes, has been used for 60 years without a clearcut mechanism of action. It turns out it's not just reducing glucose output from the liver. Metformin also works via the brain science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our paper is now out in final form at Nature Genetics! For those who missed the preprint, we used large-scale Perturb-seq targeting transcription factors to push primary fibroblasts into diverse transcriptional states, including those observed in cell atlas studies.

I think a good rule of thumb is to spend at least as much time thinking about your data as you did obtaining it. It's common for people to spend a lot less time thinking than doing which gives rise to all kinds of problems.

The goal of a PhD is not to learn some facts or read a few papers or learn a bunch of techniques. The goal of a PhD is to learn independence, problem solving, how to finish things you start, resilience, & gain the ability to adapt & think creatively. Learning these things is hard

The heterogeneity of HeLa cell-lines undermines reproducibility. HeLa cells were obtained without informed consent. ==> Researchers should avoid using HeLa cells unless required by a special justification.
