Metabolic Crosstalk in Homeostasis and Disease: Can You Hear Me Now?

Secreted factors play an important role in mediating the crosstalk among peripheral tissues to maintain systemic metabolic homeostasis. This lecture by Jiandie Lin, Associate Professor of Cell & Developmental Biology at the University of Michigan, will focus on discussing the molecular nature of a newly discovered brown fat-liver endocrine signaling pathway and its relevance in metabolic disease.
