Robert Lefkowitz, physician-scientist from Duke University and the 2012 Nobel laureate in chemistry for his studies of GPCRs has recently written a memoir called A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Stockholm, and we couldn’t resist the opportunity to ask Dr. Lefkowitz to reflect more extensively on a life well lived and a career full of phenomenal insights and ample laughter. Hear his reflections on competition in academia as well as the push and pull of a life as a physician-scientist.
In this episode, Samar Ibrahim explains that lipotoxic stress enhances the expression of LSEC-VCAM-1, in part, through MLK3 signaling. Inhibition of VCAM-1 was salutary in murine NASH, and might serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for human NASH.
In this issue, Edward Thorp explains that AXL uniquely promotes a switch to glycolytic metabolism and inflammatory cytokine production by macrophages to worsen ventricular remodeling and lead to heart failure after myocardial infarction.
