Looks like Emory is in the first listed association? Hopefully the suit is filed on behalf of all schools in the associations too bc Pitt is in the same boat

Note that the "Fas" in FAF2 is the apoptosis Fas, not the fatty acid synthase Fas. Confusing, given the context!

I learned so much from this episode when I listened a few months ago!

Congratulations and welcome to Pitt!

Will be interesting to see if it is as versatile as ggplot2! I’ve yet to find something I can’t do in ggplot, though sometimes it does take…a lot of lines of code

I think that there is a lot more to learn at this interesting nexus of phospholipid and triglyceride metabolism in adipose tissue!

I helped with a related story in Irfan Lodhi's lab at WUSTL. We found a link between peroxisome-derived phospholipids and lipogenesis (involving LPCAT3) with effects on systemic metabolism.

Adipose tissue peroxisomal lipid synthesis orchestrates obesity and insulin resistance through LXR-dependent lipogenesis - PubMed
These studies reveal an unexpected role for peroxisome-derived lipids in regulating LXR-dependent lipogenesis and suggest that activation of lipogenesis, combined with dietary lipid overload, exacerba...
