Familial hypercholesterolemia was recorded in Danish registries since 1978, as the only country in the world. In both women and men in 1978 through 2021 age at death normalized but not age at coronary heart disease. Eur Heart J just published: academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a…

The @DDEA_Denmark Postdoctoral summit 2024 was a blast! Honored to receive the “Best Poster Award” and the “Second Best Poster Pitch Award” for our lab's recent collaborative work. @annawo13 @SchleinLab. Heartfelt thanks to the organizers and the committee for an incredible week!

"Lipoprotein(a) and cardiovascular disease" review published today in The Lancet: 50 days' free access: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jlsN… Please share and resend for others to download. Bottom line: measure Lp(a) in all once in a lifetime and stay tuned for coming Lp(a)-lowering therapy!

This opens a new avenue for the treatment of genetic diseases - impressive work
It took more than a DECADE... but finally it’s published!!! It started as a CRAZY idea but after tons of hard work we built it: We hijacked the endogenous secretion systems of Toxoplasma gondii, a brain parasite, to deliver active proteins to neurons 👇 nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

Today, we report that cholesterol-induced inflammation in adipocytes is under control of the Nfe2l1-ATF3 pathway. Proteasome-mediated proteostasis is vital to suppress insulin resistance and atherosclerosis in mice and is linked to obesity in humans. 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

My first author paper from my thesis work has been uploaded to BioRxiv! We identified Mecr as important for T cell fitness in in vivo CRISPR screens. I have further worked with Mecr and am the first to show it regulates T cell function and metabolism. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Preprints need to gain more visibility. With the current review process they are years ahead of the conventional publishing record. If you are a funding body, pay reviewers to evaluate preprints to make them fully eligible as track record.

This is a medical first- despite drug approvals for TG >500, none were shown to reduce pancreatitis. The Balance study required great science, a great drug, great study design, and great execution to succeed. Congrats to @ionispharma for 15 yrs of dedication and perseverance to help patients in need! nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Excellent summary describing both Lp(a) and what to do if high.

Vollste Zustimmung. Die geplante Reform macht es leider nur noch schlimmer - man kann keiner Person guten Gewissens raten eine wissenschaftliche Karriere in D anzustreben.
Überspitzt formuliert wird die jetzt beschlossene Reform des WissZeitVG die Wissenschaft in Deutschland zerstören. Gut gemacht! 🤦‍♂️🤢

Ever wondered what determines the composition of complex lipids? Here, Worthmann (@annawo13) et al. show that endogenous lipid synthesis controls the use of #PUFA and thus determine the therapeutic benefit of #omega3 fatty acid supplementation. @SchleinLab nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

New publications from our TRR333 PIs @SchleinLab @annawo13 ! What a great start for the new year 2024! Huge congrats!
And now the manuscript got published at @NatureComms. What a nice start into 2024! Thanks to @annawo13 and her group as well as all other collaborateurs for this journey. #HappyNewYear @UKEHamburg nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

What determines the composition of complex lipids and how can we use it therapeutically? In the preprint of Worthmann et al., we investigated a patient with a de novo variant in FASN which has a strong impact on PUFA enrichment. @annawo13 1/12 researchsquare.com/article/r…
