This is awesome! Congrats! 🎉

Neuronal lipid droplets play a conserved and sex-biased role in maintaining whole-body energy homeostasis - Nature Metabolism In vivo regulation of neuronal lipid droplet formation mediates whole-body energy homeostasis in a sex-specific manner in Drosophila and mice.

Beyond delighted to share our amazing collaboration with Thierry Alquier's lab @alquierthierry.bsky.social on a conserved role for neuronal lipid droplets in regulating energy homeostasis in vivo led by Celena Cherian, Romane Manceau, Danie Majeur, and Colin Miller www.nature.com/articles/s42... /1

Glad the BBC are prioritising the most important global stories on the front page this morning.

Genetics reveal why people respond differently to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs Genetic variants in GLP1R and GIPR, which encode targets of GLP-1-based medications, offer insights into why responses to these drugs vary and who might face adverse effects.

Why do people respond differently to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs? Genetics has the answer - provided in this genome wide association study led by @adamauton.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hegseth has admitted that America has *no interest* in "fighting fair." And what it did to that warship near India was an obvious war crime; even the Nazis rescued drowning sailors. So one would have to be naive to say the US-IDF alliance "wouldn't" issue strategic drone strikes.

These ancient bumblebees were found with their pollen source Insects have long pollinated plants, but evidence of ancient pairing is rare. Fossils now show bees and linden trees goes back 24 million years.

Scientists just found several fossil bumblebees covered in pollen that directly matches fossil flowers nearby.

The 24-million-year-old discovery reveals the oldest known evidence connecting pollinators to the pollinated.
