#Gastronauts aiming to heal the brain from the gut.
Durham, NC
Joined November 2015
New paper from the lab with @andrewlutas. Work of the amazing Claire Gao. Important read exploring mechanistic insights as to why semaglutide may work better for some versus others. Building on all the amazing research that has been done over the years.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor (GLP1R) agonists like semaglutide drive weight loss through the brain, but insights into their intracellular signaling mechanisms are lacking. Although canonically...

The function of immune pathways in homeostatic neurobiology remains underexplored. Zengeler et al. find that the inflammasome complex, typically associated with immune responses, is involved in...

Super cool work from @RuptheScientist #GTSRC24: incredible tools allow her to see sucrose send signals to the brain via intestinal neuropods to vagal nerve to make them happy (and keep eating sugar) and find the genes involved in part by shining lights inside their guts. Wild.
