As people seeking the truth and since some of the lab members have Russian or Ukrainian origins, we condemn the unprovoked aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

  Our PhD student Yuan Ma and co-authors have found that deletion of miR-29a in mature PomcCre neurons leads to insulin resistance and hyperphagic obesity. For the first time, such a drastic protective metabolic effect of a single microRNA within a mature population of hypothalamic neurons was detected. In-depth studies of the metabolic effects of Nras and other targets of this and other microRNAs in these neurons might help to develop therapeutic strategies. Neuronal miR-29a protects from obesity in adult…
