Delighted to see over review and concept on the cover of this month's @cp-trendsendomet.bsky.social where we cover GLP-1s & SGLT2i as anti-inflammatory agents- co-authored with @nickjonesimmuno.bsky.social
📻 Listen back: Prof Andy Hogan, Dept of Biology, was featured in the Laura Dowling Experience podcast where he discussed his work in immunology, obesity, immune health, GLP-1 therapies, his early life plus much more.

****2-NBDG does not measure glucose uptake****
Just your regular reminder of this fact 😁.
See the rigorous proof of this fact in @lindavsinclair.bsky.social 2020 paper.
This paper was 6 years ago!! Stop using 2NBDG to measure glucose uptake already 🙄

Congrats to lead co-first authors @courteney.bsky.social @laurabitterlich.bsky.social and collaborators @james Ankrum @andyhogan82.bsky.social @maynoothuniversity.ie
This was a labor of love requiring lots of teamwork over years, repeating in 3 locations! Thanks to all the lab over the years, giving their time generously to this team project, & our wonderful collaborators. The source of fat matters for anti-tumor immunity 🐄🐖🧈🌴🫒🥥

Excellent stuff Anna - congrats to all
🦠 New research shows obesity disrupts dendritic cell responses to viruses by impairing cytokine production & metabolism - helping explain higher infection risk.

#Immunology
Couple of months into our new social media experiment and we are blown away by the engagement - over 2.6 million views on TikTok alone and the daily feedback both online and in person has been so positive and supportive! A whole new way of spreading research based info

Our lab @obesityimmunology.bsky.social is looking to support a stellar scientist in their application to the Marie-Sklodowska-Curie European or Global Fellowship to join us to unravel the impact of obesity on the immune system - DM or email andrew.e.hogan@mu.ie for details europa.eu/!B8hjh3
Brilliant work Karen & co
Congrats!!
En route home from @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social after 2 days of fantastic science chats! Huge thanks to @peruchalab.bsky.social for the invite and hospitality. Hopefully lots of new collaborations
Obesity is associated with increased susceptibility to infection, which may be due to obesity-induced immune dysregulation. The latest article exchange highlight from @discovimmunol.bsky.social looks at dendritic cell responses to Sendai Virus in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity.
More evidence for GLP-1 medications in limiting rates of cancer. "The findings of this cohort study suggest that GLP-1RAs are associated with reduced risk of developing several hematologic cancers in patients with T2D"
