Big congrats to my graduate student Chloe Cheng for being awarded the Cornell Center of Vertebrate Genomics Scholars Award for her work in brown fat and metabolism. We are very proud of you! @CornellNutri @CornellCVG @ChloeMCheng
It remains a mystery how the single sulfur-containing amino acid taurine can activate NST to protect against obesity. Here we show that one of its biosynthetic enzymes ADO is critical for mitochondrial function. Congrats Pei-Yin! mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/1… @CornellCHE @CornellNutri
