Our new @Cell_Metabolism study proposes a mechanistic connection between molecular remodelling in development & aging. We uncovered a common transcription factor pattern linked to chromatin remodelling in organismal maturation & aging. Link tinyurl.com/d39ru3s8 Thread 🧵👇1/10

🚨 Science journo job alert! 🚨 Come work with ABC Science! We're on the hunt for an online science reporter. And yep, that's my job -- I'm moving into a different role, so will still be around, but it's definitely time to pass the baton careers.abc.net.au/en/job/50…

Why do we love cake and ice cream? My lab's latest paper in @Cell_Metabolism led by @molly_mcdougle identifies separate gut-reward circuits for fat and sugar. Foods combining fat and sugar recruit both reward circuits to increase motivation to overeating. authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
New #PrePrint Alert! So proud to share our latest work examining the innate motivation to consume fats and sugars. We identify labeled lines for fat and sugar reward from the gut via nigrostriatal dopamine that combine to promote overeating. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

In our new preprint by @homamajd et al., we describe an extensive comparative analysis of several single cell transcriptomics datasets that underscores challenges in defining neuronal identity in the ENS. Huge thanks to all coauthors! @StampHaoLab @mghpedisurg
Ever wondered how diverse bowel functions are controlled? The key lies in its incredible array of diverse enteric neurons. Our analysis reveals some important challenges in their annotations and calls for taking a holistic approach. @FaranakFattahi biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
