News Release Research (Publication) Jain Lab MetabolismLeveraging modern scientific tools and techniques, Jain intends to transform our understanding of the critical roles that vitamins play in health and disease.
Awards News Release Cardiovascular Disease Jain Lab MetabolismSTAT News—Alexander Marson, director of the Gladstone-UCSF Institute of Genomic Immunology, describes new research from his group showing that the immune response in a mouse model of atopic dermatitis is altered by obesity. This difference rendered first-line therapies ineffective in mice, indicating that treatments for inflammatory disorders may need to be tailored to work in individual patients, depending on their metabolic state.

News Release Research (Publication) Parkinson’s Disease Heart Failure Neurological Disease Nakamura Lab Disease Models Genomics MetabolismAnti-cancer drug prevented less weight gain and caused mice to burn more calories thanks to higher levels of metabolism-boosting brown fat.
Ding Lab Metabolism DiabetesScientists at the Gladstone Institutes have discovered an unusual regulator of body weight and the metabolic syndrome: a molecular mechanism more commonly associated with brain cells.
Diabetes Neurological Disease Akassoglou Lab Basic Science MetabolismScientists have revealed that glucocorticoids, a class of steroid hormones that are commonly prescribed as drugs, enhance muscle endurance and alleviate muscular dystrophy through activation of the gene KLF15.
Haldar Lab Cardiovascular Disease Basic Science MetabolismA new study from the Gladstone Institutes shows for the first time that impairments in mitochondria—the brain’s cellular power plants—can deplete cellular energy levels and cause neuronal dysfunction in a model of neurodegenerative disease.
Parkinson’s Disease Neurological Disease Nakamura Lab Basic Science MetabolismSAN FRANCISCO, CA—Inside each of us is our own internal timing device. It drives everything from sleep cycles to metabolism, but the inner-workings of this so-called “circadian clock” are complex, and the molecular processes behind it have long eluded scientists.
Akassoglou Lab MetabolismSAN FRANCISCO, CA—Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes have discovered a key protein that regulates insulin resistance—the diminished ability of cells to respond to the action of insulin and which sets the stage for the development of the most common form of diabetes.
Akassoglou Lab Diabetes MetabolismSAN FRANCISCO, CA—A scientist at the Gladstone Institutes has discovered how a gene known as SIRT3 contributes to a suite of health problems sweeping across America, offering new insight into how to combat these potentially fatal conditions.
Diabetes MetabolismSAN FRANCISCO, CA—Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) have found that a key enzyme involved in absorbing fat may also be a key to reducing it.
