🫀 Researchers at #MedUniVienna have identified the enzyme MMP12 as a new target for combating heart scarring in #CardiacSarcoidosis. The findings could pave the way for new treatments and improve the management of this often-underdiagnosed condition. Find out more! ⬇️ 📰 @atsblueeditor.bsky.social​

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team at the Medical University of Vienna. The translational project will investigate how metabolic programs regulate granuloma formation and disease progression in sarcoidosis.

A big chunk of my postdoctoral work on cell-state dependent metabolism is now out at @cp-molcell.bsky.social: www.cell.com/molecular-ce... 1/

Aspartate availability drives differential engagement of the malate-aspartate shuttle
Brunner et al. report that malate-aspartate shuttle engagement is cell-state dependent and can be modulated by the availability of the amino acid aspartate. In differentiated cells, malate-aspartate s...

Aging 🧓 alters metabolite levels, but not core metabolic fluxes! Impressive work from @sfb_immunomet postdoc Connor Jankowski (PhD thesis) just out in Cell Metabolism 👏 #Aging #Metabolism #Fluxomics 🔗 www.cell.com/cell-metabol...

Aged mice exhibit widespread metabolic changes but preserved major fluxes
Metabolic dysregulation is a hallmark of aging, but how metabolic pathway activity (flux) changes with age has yet to be broadly assessed. Here, Jankowski et al. measure metabolite concentrations and ...

Spatial immunometabolic zonation in tuberculosis granulomas - Nature Reviews Immunology
A preprint by McCaffrey and Delmastro et al. delineates distinct immunometabolic zones of tuberculosis granulomas and reports that hypoxia is a key driver of immune subversion.
