An insightful preview by Scott Friedman highlighting our recent findings on the role of hepatic stellate cells in metabolic regulation 🙌🏻
Out today in Cell Metabolism @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social

Can we talk? The cryptic communications of hepatic stellate cells in lipid metabolism

The contributions of signals generated by hepatic stellate cells that regulate hepatocyte lipid and glucose homeostasis are largely unexplored. The ar…

🚨🤓 Extremely happy to see our new paper on stellate cell biology now online at Cell Metabolism 🙌🏼 Hepatic stellate cells are more than quiescent pericytes in healthy liver. They regulate hepatocytes energy preference during fasting ‼️🧩🐭

Hepatic stellate cells regulate liver fatty acid utilization via plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein

Hansen et al. show that the hepatic stellate cell-expressed plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein is required for the normal switch from carbohydrate to lipid utilization during fasting. This reveals...

📣 Check out our recent preprint on bioRxiv on cellular changes in adipose tissue in response to different weight loss modalities 📣

Jesper Madsen @jespergrud.bsky.social · Feb 1

Preprint alert! We used snRNA-seq on adipose tissue from a longitudinal cohort of people undergoing surgury-induced weight loss. True ATLAS team effort

We found dramatic changes in immune and progenitor compartments. Give it a read and let us know what you think.

Briefly:
1. PLVAP expressed by hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) is key to fasting metabolism in mice
2. HSC PLVAP knockout perturbs liver fatty acid uptake and oxidation
3. HSC PLVAP knockout improves glucose tolerance
4. HSC PLVAP knockout livers show higher insulin signalling
