UM researchers from @LyssiotisLab identify cellular pathways that drive precancerous lesions to form pancreatic tumors. Learn how their results could help researchers treat benign lesions before they become tumors: michmed.org/JDRQ8.

We are pleased to announce Julia Ugras (@julia_ugras) as the recipient of the third, annual Seth Boyer Award for Excellence in Research. Julia was selected for her commitment to her science, collaborative spirit, and generosity. These are characteristics Seth brought to every challenge he confronted. This year was extra special, as Seth’s parents joined us in honoring Seth and reflecting on his memory.
We are delighted to present the second, annual Seth Boyer Award for Excellence in Research to Dr. Megan Radyk (@radykm) for her mentorship, tireless work ethic, teamwork, and selflessness.

Uridine is having a moment… we thought, worthy of the designation: Metabolite of the Month 😆 @julia_ugras, @Trends_Endo_Met Jokes aside, a deluge of recent work indicates unique signaling and metabolic roles for uridine in hunger/satiety (in man), temperature, energy, and even walking (in mice) 🌡️⚡️🚶, with provocative indications for health and disease 👉🏼Link in Julia’s tweet and/or DM for PDF
Happy Friday! @LyssiotisLab and I had a fun time hyping up our favorite metabolite Uridine as the Metabolite of the Month in @CellCellPress! We hope you enjoy this quick read! cell.com/trends/endocrinolog…
