Please share.
We would like to share our findings of the physiological importance of brainstem GLP-1 neurons (also known as PPG or GCG neurons) and invite thoughts on this.

Happy Holiday Season to all friends, colleagues, collaborators and competitors! May the GLP-1 field stay as exciting in 2026 as it was in 2025!
Our latest thoughts on brain-derived GLP-1 are out in Endocrinology now.

New semester, new project students and another opportunity to experience research through a couple pair of enthusiastic eyes!
@trapp-lab.bsky.social @ccmnlondon.bsky.social
Dr Cecilia Skoug presenting the latest mouse behaviour data from the Trapp lab at @theiups.bsky.social. Great presence from @ccmnlondon.bsky.social at a fantastic meeting!
Another day, another excellent talk from a @ccmnlondon.bsky.social member. Dr. Anna Robert’s from @adriaenssenslab.bsky.social lab presented her work on GIP and vascular health here at @theiups.bsky.social 2025 meeting in Frankfurt.
More @ccmnlondon.bsky.social representation at #IUPS2025; Philippa Wittenberg, PhD student in Prof. Alex Gourine’s group presented her work on the baroreceptor mechanism.
Lena Eliasson from my alma mater @lunduniversity-med.bsky.social recipient of the Scandinavian physiological society Ulf von Euler lecture, gave a great talk on glucagon and miRNA. Lena is also a former collaborator, great to see her achievement get awarded!
Now on to the first Nobel laureate lecture in this conference with Peter Ratcliffe. #IUPS2025
Last conference for the year for me is IUPS 2025. Yesterday was the well-attended symposium ”GLP-1 Receptor Agonists - a Magic Bullet Beyond Diabetes and Obesity?” Chaired by Prof. Stefan Trapp @trapp-lab.bsky.social Maybe I’m
biased but a great symposium indeed! @ccmnlondon.bsky.social
Can targeting GLP-1 in the brain revolutionise obesity treatment? 🧠💉
Check out Professor Stefan Trapp’s take on how central GLP-1 pathways could transform the future of obesity care.

We are recruiting! If you are interested in working as a post-doctoral Research Fellow in the heart of London contributing to MRC-funded research into GLP-1 action within the brain, please look at this link and apply if interested: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...
CCMN is off to an amazing start this year. Here are some highlights you don’t want to miss ✨
Swedes would say ”den som väntar på något gott, väntar aldrig för länge”. Thanks to Mathew Demmings for taking the lead and all co-authors. Huge thanks to @isn-society.bsky.social @jneurochem.bsky.social for the oppurtunity and for the advanced school 2019!

Zack night in a lecture hall
Group of people at pub table
Group of people in bowling alley
Fantastic departmental seminar by @zknight.bsky.social, followed by craft beer and bowling for xmas party with the @ccmnlondon.bsky.social crew.
Definitely a Good Science Day.
📣 We are excited to launch this year’s CCMN Lecture Series with Dr. @zknight.bsky.social! Join us to learn about his latest work on:
In vivo imaging of brainstem neurons in response to nutrient intake.

Leaving X (2009-2024) for Bluesky! All new accounts should start with a cute picture of a cat.
But will mainly be here for the science chat.
