Can VSMC senescence be a reversible phenotype? Our review explores if senescent VSMCs are an intermediate VSMC state. @alihermanlab @em_maragkakis @katarinagresova

Super cool presentations today by @ana_cujba @AliHermanlab, Amber Stratmann and @mahak906! Circadian biology, senescence, cilia and many more new exciting topics in this morning session!

1/ No, you do not always need single-cell RNA-seq.
Here's why bulk RNA-seq might still be the smarter move for your experiment.

So much to celebrate this week! Our first original research paper was published, we welcomed our new postbac, Ted, and said goodbye to our longest tenured lab member and postbac Charnae' who is off to Georgetown for her Master's! I am very proud of this group 🥳

[Ali Herman @AliHermanlab]

We are migrating to Blue Sky! Come join the party 🎉😅 https://t.co/iXc2TQt9WX

My lab has been working for the past 15 years to develop a method to isolate specific genomic loci to identify its chromatin composition & protein interactome. Finally,… our superb physician/scientist Dr. Bercin Cenik @bkcenik did it and here it is https://t.co/f0vKe8pCFS Not only was she able to develop this method, which she calls TurboCAS, she was able to identify known & novel regulators of heat shock & Myc expression. Cannot wait to see what Bercin and TurboCAS will discover about the molecular basis of transcriptional regulation with great impact on clinic in the next few years! @NU_BMG_SQE @NUFeinbergMed @MolecularCell

@mete_civelek @MedicineUVA @UVA Congratulations!!

[Ali Herman @AliHermanlab]

VABU field trip to see #Wicked for our holiday outing! We loved it 💚🩷

[Julio Aguado @JulioAguado_PhD]

A comprehensive review on cellular #senescence, highlighting up-to-date mechanisms and interventions. A must-read resource for advancing #aging research.👇

Great work by @flor_herbstein, @Smorsli_ & rest of yICSA board members.

Really interesting study from @hagayanay and the Beerman lab 👇🏻👏🏻

[Isabel Beerman @BeermanHSCaging]

Congratulations to @hagayanay a fantastic postdoc on the job market: showed HSC divisional history is tracked by DNA methylation and correlates with function. Also beautifully resolves an outstanding question regarding DNA damage and HSC aging https://t.co/IDQpbv3YWB

🚨Postdoc Opportunity🚨 Join the Brain Health Equity Unit @ NIA to study brain health disparities in historically marginalized communities, using neuroimaging, genomics & epidemiology. Apply by 10/4/24: https://t.co/s8NMepPrm3 #Postdoc #BrainHealth #HealthDisparities #ScienceJobs

[Payel Sen @senergystic]

Very happy to have this out! In this study we show that the DNA modification, 5hmC, increases over bodies of tissue-specific genes in the aging liver and serves a function different from DNA methylation. Congrats @occean_james!

@senergystic @occean_james Congratulations! Fantastic study 🎉

[Ali Herman @AliHermanlab]

Thanks so much to all who shared and expressed interest. Unfortunately this position can only be filled by a US citizen at this time.

[Ali Herman @AliHermanlab]

We are hiring a postbac fellow! The focus will be vascular aging in mice, with the ability to learn other skills such as cell culture and molecular biology techniques! Please DM or send to anyone interested

[Ali Herman @AliHermanlab]

@nnhooten Thank you, @nnhooten !

[Ali Herman @AliHermanlab]

Once again, we are grateful and elated to see AGE supporting our trainees! We are so proud of Ada and all that she has accomplished so far, with much more to come! Check out Ada’s poster if you are attending #AGE2024 next week!

[American Aging Association @americanaging]

Congratulations to Ada Okereke, one of our 2024 AGE Diversity Award winners! Ada is a postbaccalaureate researcher at @NIHAging @NIH who studies how long noncoding RNAs influence cellular #senescence. #AGEDiversity #AGETC #AGE2024 #WomeninSTEM

[Ali Herman @AliHermanlab]

It will be hard to top this year’s meeting but I can’t wait to take everyone to the best places for crabs, crab cakes, and pit beef! 🦀 See you in Baltimore 🦀

[AHA Science @AHAScience]

That’s a wrap for #VascularDiscovery24. Let’s do it again next year. See you in Baltimore!

[Ali Herman @AliHermanlab]

@DataExplorer21 Thank you! I hope our paths cross again in science and medicine at some point 🙏🏻

[Ali Herman @AliHermanlab]

Our new lab, the Vascular Aging Biology Unit, opens this June and we are looking for postdocs who are interested in studying the vascular senescent cell surfaceome and vascular aging and its relationship with cognitive decline. Please DM if interested, and RT to share

@MelindaBChu1 @HaoYin20 Thank you!
