Overview

László Fésüs is affiliated with the University of Debrecen in Hungary and has made significant contributions to the field of medical research, focusing primarily on physiology and metabolism. Their research portfolio includes a strong emphasis on adipose tissue and metabolism, along with an interest in adipokines, inflammation, metabolic diseases, and blood properties related to coagulation.

Their work spans various subfields of medicine, including physiology, epidemiology, pulmonary and respiratory medicine, cell biology, and hematology. This multidisciplinary approach is reflected in their diverse set of published studies and collaborations.

Fésüs has contributed to several recent scientific papers, demonstrating a focus on thermogenic responses and adipocyte biology. These include:

  • ASC-1 transporter-dependent amino acid uptake is required for the efficient thermogenic response of human adipocytes to adrenergic stimulation (2021, FEBS Letters)
  • FTO intronic SNP strongly influences human neck adipocyte browning determined by tissue and PPARγ specific regulation: a transcriptome analysis (2020, SZTE Publicatio Repozitórium, University of Szeged)
  • Thermogenic Activation Downregulates High Mitophagy Rate in Human Masked and Mature Beige Adipocytes (2020, International Journal of Molecular Sciences)
  • Irisin Stimulates the Release of CXCL1 From Differentiating Human Subcutaneous and Deep-Neck Derived Adipocytes via Upregulation of NFκB Pathway (2021, Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology)
  • BMP7 Increases UCP1-Dependent and Independent Thermogenesis with a Unique Gene Expression Program in Human Neck Area Derived Adipocytes (2021, Pharmaceuticals)

Their frequent coauthors include Endre Kristóf, Rini Arianti, Ferenc Győry, Szilárd Póliska, and Boglárka Ágnes Vinnai, indicating a collaborative research environment around adipocyte metabolism and related physiological studies.

Fésüs has published extensively in various scientific journals with notable recurring venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, FEBS Open Bio, and Gerundium.

The main topics of their research output reflect a comprehensive interest in metabolism and related physiological mechanisms, particularly:

  • Adipose Tissue and Metabolism
  • Adipokines, Inflammation, and Metabolic Diseases
  • Blood properties and coagulation
  • Muscle metabolism and nutrition
  • Diet and metabolism studies
  • Exercise and Physiological Responses
  • Erythrocyte Function and Pathophysiology

Awards and honors attributed to László Fésüs include membership in Academia Europaea in 2015 and the Distinguished Service Award from the European Federation for Animal Science (EAAP) received in 2005.
