New in Nature Metabolism: CNS GIPR and GLP-1R are both essential for weight loss response to a GIPR-Ab/GLP-1 peptide–antibody conjugate in mice—and this signaling happens through brain regions that reach outside the blood–brain barrier. This provides a new perspective on central
Today, @NatMetabolism published new preclinical research in mice around blocking GIPR and activating GLP-1R. 🧬🔬 This study was led by @DanielJDrucker, Endocrinologist and Professor at @UofT, and Murielle Véniant-Ellison, Scientific VP at Amgen leading #obesity research. 🔗

Can you get too much of a good thing? Turns out ovarian cancer cells recurrently delete BRD4 regulatory elements to mute expression. So cool, even better from close friends.

Wala et al. identify recurrent focal BRD4 deletions in tumors harboring larger amplifications, suggesting that these deletions may serve to limit toxic BRD4 overexpression. A CRISPR-Cas9 cell line...

Another terrific outcome for a NIBR-born medicine. Congratulations to Rene Hersperger, Christian Bruns and all who worked to develop this gorgeous little electrophile.
In two trials involving patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria, remibrutinib led to significantly greater reductions than placebo in itching and hives at week 12. Full results of the REMIX-1 and REMIX-2 trials: https://t.co/HB7p8o7HVF
