V happy to share my work in DeBerardinis Lab Children’s Research Institute at UT Southwestern from past 2 yr! In equal collab with Tony Rodrigues, Dwendscheck (dwendscheck.bsky.social), Jorge Azevedo’s lab, Warscheid lab, we have discovered PEX39, the first human peroxisomal biogenesis protein (peroxin/PEX) found in > 20 yr! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…🧵

The proof just arrived this evening at my door. I am pleasantly surprised at the quality. The print version will be available in a few days at the royalty-free price (Amazon).

Still, feel free to download it in its entirety at

Here we identified diindole molecules from gut bacteria metabolites that function as potent agonists for the orphan constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), with affinities similar to synthetic agonists. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The Periodic Table of Food Initiative aims to document the vast array of biomolecules found in food, with a long-term goal of aiding efforts to improve agriculture, nutrition, and health. scim.ag/6Nt

Glad to see NASEM Health & the media covering this topic more! The lack of research inclusive of pregnant individuals limits our basic understanding of nutrient metabolism & requirements,leaving us with highly uncertain diet recs

Members of our study committee outlined recommendations from their report in this STAT op-ed. “Excluding pregnant people from research fails to prevent harm to them and their offspring — and actually increases it.” Access the report: ow.ly/LVGI50RsAZe#He…

It's out ! Isotopic evidence of high reliance on plant food among Later Stone Age hunter-gatherers at Taforalt published in Nature Ecology and Evolution ! Congratulations to zineb moubtahij for her first thesis paper !nature.com/articles/s4155…

This recent study by Kevin Hall is awesome.

It investigates the impact of different weight loss methods on the 'lipostat'-- the body fat regulatory system in the brain that opposes weight loss efforts.

My plain language summary.

I will personalize your diet for 300$ as well but no need to mail me your 💩

Saturday in lab brought to you by iced coffee, blooming cherry blossoms & unforgiving 🐀schedules

Arrivale first, next Zoe. The privatized model of generating research funds that involved selling people hyped personalized advice isn't gonna save nutrition research. Commodity boards & interested billionaires won't either. We need a less cringe revolution in nutrition funding.

Exploratory physiological experiments are not clinical trials: Cell Metabolism cell.com/cell-metabolis… Very important letter. Failure to understand this distinction will adversely affect studies of human biology

. Jennifer Gunter sent me a turmeric product page being advertised in the menopause space and its so scammily predatory its absurd. Hey U.S. FDA FTC - time for some warning letters.
