Today, I reflect on the legacy of @IGCiencia over the last 60 years and what it has meant for research and the scientific community in Portugal and beyond. IGC was never just a place—it was a pioneering model. #IGCLegacyLivesOn 1/5

It is generally accepted that fat tissues “talk” to the brain via secreted hormones. Our amazing student @yuwang, co-mentored by @liye_tsri, discovered that somatosensory neurons innervating adipose tissue act as a break to counteract sympathetic activity. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Intriguing new research shows immune cells from obese mice have dysfunctional glucose metabolism. Metformin but not weight loss protected mice against mortality from influenza. #obesity #virus #Influenza @ImmunoMet go.nature.com/3dZVgpF
