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

I just taught about prolactin without this picture and I wonder how else I’ve come up short as an educator 🤣

We are so sorry to hear this!

Who is going to the @sbn-bsky.bsky.social social at SfN?
We are considering sending down a delegation.

Check out @paulvander24.bsky.social's review on the crosstalk between torpor and reproduction. It's a great primer and highlights how much we still have to learn.

Professor Leads Groundbreaking Study on Menopause-Mental Health Connection A biology professor is examining the links between menopause and depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses, building on a pioneering study she and her team just published.

Check out this nice story from @fordham.edu News on our work on #menopause transition recently published in Molecular Psychiatry & funded by the NIH. Knowledge is power! #WomensHealth 🔥
