This concludes our activities here at X. To see where this all goes, please follow us @ravnskjaer-lab@bsky.social 🦋 and LinkedIn. Bye bye Grok 👋🏻.

Thrilled and truly grateful to receive an Ascending Investigator Grant from the @novonordiskfond, which will fuel our continued work on liver fibrosis and putative therapies. Thanks 🙌🏻 for the generous support and belief in our abilities @ravnskjaer_lab @GenomicsUnit @NATsdu .

An insightful preview by Scott Friedman highlighting our recent findings on the role of hepatic stellate cells in metabolic regulation 🙌🏻 Out today in @Cell_Metabolism .

Here we go. THANKS again to our dear colleagues @ Fondazione for hosting a truly amazing annual @MyeInfoBank COST meeting in beautiful Palermo!

Great colleagues, sunshine, good food, amazing wine, and Christian from the @ravnskjaer_lab presenting his work at the @MyeInfoBank Young Researcher Conference in beautiful Palermo ☀️ Big THANKS to the @COSTprogramme.

Huge thanks to our expert evaluators Professors Bart Staels @Inserm, Prakash Ramachandran @prakramacha and Jesper G.S. Madsen @GenomicsUnit for offering Peter the chance to earn his degree. Really couldn’t have asked for more 🙏.

Congrats @Peter for an outstanding defense of your #PhD @NatSDU on cellular heterogeneity in human liver disease! Very proud and thankful for your contributions towards better treatments.

Warm thanks to our collaborators @SalmiLab @InFLAMES @M3_Faergeman @Columbia @KanazawaUniv @ATLAS_SDU @bmbSDU @GenomicsUnit and our funders @DDEA_Denmark @GrundforskFond @novonordiskfond and @DFF_raad 🙏🙏🙏. BTW: Soon relocating to Bluesky 🦋. See you @ravnskjaer-lab.bsky.social.

Briefly:.1. PLVAP expressed by hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is key to fasting metabolism in mice.2. HSC PLVAP knockout perturbs liver fatty acid uptake and oxidation.3. HSC PLVAP knockout improves glucose tolerance.4. HSC PLVAP knockout livers show higher insulin signalling.

Check out our paper now online at Cell Metabolism: Hepatic stellate cells regulate liver fatty acid utilization via plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein. Amazing work by Daniel, Jasmin, Christian, Peter, Oliver from @ravnskjaer_lab, and many more 🏆💐♥️.

A huge congratulations to @HejnKamilla on defending her PhD on stellate cell nucleotide signalling 💪🏻 A huge thanks to @JoannaKalucka and @ReibergerThomas for being exceptional opponents 🙏🏼 @GenomicsUnit @ATLAS_SDU

Huge congrats💐to Han for successfully defending his Master's thesis on OXPHOS gene expression in #MASH. Thanks 🙏to Jacob Bo Hansen @BIO_UCPH for being a world-class external examiner.

Three days and six nationalities as always immersed in a friendly and cooperative atmosphere. Thanks for contributing to another successful @MyeInfoBank meeting here in Odense overlooking @SyddanskUni 🫶#COSTAction

A big pleasure to discuss recent insights into Type 2 Diabetes with a most engaged and curious crowd @unfdk - The Danish Youth Association of Science. Thanks for helping the natural sciences meet the public!

A distinct pleasure to host Prof. Jae Bum Kim from @SeoulNatlUni and discuss liver fat, the seven routes to Santiago de Compostela and everything in-between. Thanks, Jae, for swinging by @GenomicsUnit @ATLAS_SDU @NATsdu

IVBM 2024 kick-off @ivbm2024

Today Christian defended his Master thesis on liver bulk RNA-seq deconvolution 💪🏻 We look forward to have your computational expertise in the group for three more years at @GenomicsUnit @ATLAS_SDU 🥳. And a special thanks to @tunepers for a great discussion !

Our most talented undergraduates put to good use spatially dissecting onions and other less characterized vegetables for bulk preparation in our delicious Chili sin carne ♥️ Thanks @ravnskjaer_lab for a great semester and fun summer social 2024. @NATsdu #SustainableScience

Congratulations to Magnus, who defended his master thesis today🥳 Those livers were as transparent as Translucent 🙈 We wish you the best of luck in your next venture 🙂

Big congratulations to @JasminRekly who defended her master thesis today at @bmbSDU @GenomicsUnit ! Great job🙌🏼 Looking forward to continue working with you on your exciting phd project!🙂
