Thrilled and proud to see the paper published after so much hard work by so many students and fellows. Thank you @hov_jer @antoniomol83 and Peder Braadland for navigating and leading the work!
Years of work from so many people - I believe this is an important step forward in PSC! @antoniomol83 @BackhedLab @ERC_Research @tomhemmingk @Melum_E

Excited and grateful to be part of this @novonordiskfond sponsored initiative to investigate if the gut microbiome causes cardiometabolic disease in humans!

By adding bacteria to our gut, removing them, or changing what we eat, we could reduce our risk of developing diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

A new research project, led by @foodDTUdk at @DTUtweet and funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, aims to find out more about this link, ultimately leading to new prevention or treatment options for people living with, or at risk of, cardiometabolic disease.

In collaboration with @DanielJDrucker we made the surprising observation 10+ years ago that GLP-1R deficient mice dies. Further work led by @GreinerTU with support from @MucinBiology revealed involvement of #gobletcells.

More essential roles for GLP-1R in the mouse gut, here in the maintenance of colonic physiology and survival during energy deprivation in germ free mice @BackhedLab @MolMetab sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
