Cardiac PGC1a is required for adaptations of the heart to exercise (in mice). A wonderful collaboration with the lab of Tony Rosenzweig. Sumeet is off to start his won lab at UVa (congrats!) nature.com/articles/s44161-0…

🚨New from our group in @CircRes
We identify a FoxO1-zDHHC4-CD36 S-acylation axis driving metabolic contractile dysfunction in the diabetic heart.
Blocking this pathway reprograms FA metabolism and improves heart function.

New anti-obesity drug shows promise in preventing heart failure related to Type 2 diabetes.
John Ussher finds experimental weight loss drug GDF15 improves heart function in mice with diabetes, independent of its weight loss effects.
