Another reason why driving in Montréal is alway interesting…. Which corner are we meeting at??

Monday, the House of Commons Health committee will launch a study on "Women's health". I admittedly couldn't help but notice the composition of the committee.

I looked it up - it’s not a joke.

Congratulations to May Faraj's team for this excellent work!

After a VERY long journey we are happy to share our characterization of the MAPL KO mouse. See how MAPL loss leads to lean phenotypes, dysregulated bile acid metabolism, wild changes in the gut, ultimately leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. doi.org/10.15252/embr.…

Daniel J Drucker beat me to it! Our study in Diabetes, a research journal of the ADA 🧪 is online! Spoiler alert…we found an mRNA #translation mechanism in the #beta cell that regulates “on-demand” protein synthesis. Coolest finding-#Insulin is translationally regulated! Pls read & RT diabetesjournals.org/diabetes/artic…

Here's the thing about AI in biology: it absolutely has revolutionary potential, but any model is only as good as the data it's trained on. And there's a lot we don't know or are simply wrong about in bio. Want to truly build AI for bio? Invest in basic discovery science.

Should I be worried?

Come join us at IRCM for grad studies. Now recruiting for this program.

Amazing visit to Kansas City!! So much great metabolism and physiology research going on! E Matthew Morris Andrew J. Lutkewitte

People often ask me which mouse model of MASLD to use or how could we can make the ones we already have more translational. You can find my opinion here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1iusW3jDgWq3…

As we gear up to release our new human islet data resource (soon I hope!), a couple of papers we’ve been fortunate to work on with colleagues in Jeff Xia’s group at McGill…both incorporating some human islet data. 1/2 academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

A graphical abstract is worth 1000 words
