Reviews

4.0 out of 5 stars from 42 ratings
  • Kind of a mixed bag

    Some Episode are quite interesting and informative, some are more of a advertisement for companies and some are just blatant Chinese propaganda. That ones are especially disappointing.

  • Information overload

    I’m a PhD student working in the molecular biology field yet find myself drowning in acronyms and esoteric terminology throughout these podcasts that totally cloud the take home messages. Totally wrong style for a podcast- for an academic review one can sit down and take notes on, yes. But for a podcast? Nooooooo

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Could a new weight loss approach have longer term benefits than GLP-1s?
Q: What are the key preclinical findings that give you confidence in this approach?
Preclinical data across multiple species show restored insulin sensitivity in the liver, reduced fatty liver and fibrosis, and importantly, a lipid signaling change that helps protect muscle from degradation during metabolic stress, implying both metabolic and muscle-sparing benefits.
Could a new weight loss approach have longer term benefits than GLP-1s?
Q: How does PATAS work, and why is it only active in diseased adipocytes?
PATAS mimics the insulin effect by re-establishing glucose absorption in adipocytes that are insulin resistant; in healthy adipocytes there is no effect because insulin signaling is already functioning, so PATAS acts specifically where the disease state exists to restore balance.
Could a new weight loss approach have longer term benefits than GLP-1s?
Q: What role does fat tissue dysfunction play in insulin resistance, and why is adipose biology central to this disease?
Adipose tissue is a key regulator of insulin resistance; when aging and other factors push adipose tissue toward lipid-dominant metabolism, unhealthy lipids spill over, driving whole-body insulin resistance and making adipose tissue dysfunction a central driver of metabolic disease.
Could a new weight loss approach have longer term benefits than GLP-1s?
Q: To start with, could you introduce yourself to our listeners and the sort of work that you do?
I'm Vincent Marion, a biochemist by training specialising in amino acid metabolism, and I lead medical research at INSEUM Strasbourg, focusing on identifying causative genes for metabolic disorders to find new therapeutic targets.
Could a new approach determine the future of cancer treatment?
Q: How do 1001 and 2001 differ scientifically and clinically?
Both inhibit NSD2, but 1001 is tailored for hematologic malignancies like multiple myeloma, while 2001 is optimized for solid tumors with attention to distinct tumor microenvironments and compatible combination partners.
