We are a lab studying the molecular mechanisms of epigenetics and how epigenetics impacts a variety of biological processes and diseases

@pouryany Thanks Pourya!

Excited to share our new work on transgenerational adaptation https://t.co/nppbqo9zpw out today spearheaded by outstanding former undergraduate Kathleen Kim NOT C. elegans adapt to repeated generational stresses and no longer display altered fertility, fat content,+ longevity 1/9

@FengYungWang1 @ArielTelger @Gautam_Sarkaar @mhafizrothi @mpmeers @simonyuanwang Thanks Feng-Yung!

[Eric Greer Lab @EricGreerLab]

Congratulations Jessica, Duygu and the whole team! Looks really cool!

[Jessica Whited @JessLaMae]

Axolotls use adrenaline signaling to regenerate legs! Today, we can finally share the official publication of a really exciting project we've pursued over the last several years. Thanks to the entire team for their creativity, expertise, and work. https://t.co/Q1BYYPihww

@ShainLab @ArielTelger @Gautam_Sarkaar @mhafizrothi @mpmeers @simonyuanwang Thanks Hunter!

[Eric Greer Lab @EricGreerLab]

@JessLaMae Thanks very much Jessica! It's been a very fun project for sure.

[Eric Greer Lab @EricGreerLab]

This exciting story was spearheaded by Kathleen but she was helped by a number of people some not on twitter including @ArielTelger, @Gautam_Sarkaar, Sharan Surya, @mhafizrothi , @mpmeers, and @simonyuanwang 9/9

[Eric Greer Lab @EricGreerLab]

Really excited for the next steps of this project to further study whether transgenerational adaptation is universal to different environmental stresses, how conserved this is in other species, and what the precise molecular mechanism is for the transgenerational adaptation. 8/9

[Eric Greer Lab @EricGreerLab]

This work was spearheaded by @mhafizrothi, @Gautam_Sarkaar, and Joseph Alhaddad, who were helped by Wayne Mitchell, @KejunYing , Nancy Pohl, Roberto Sotomayor-Mena, Julia Natale, Scarlett Dellacono and @gladyshev_lab . Thanks to all the authors! 8/8

Excited to see our manuscript out @NatureComms https://t.co/WrCe69GiFI. We identified that the 18S rRNA methylase DIMT-1 regulates lifespan by functioning in the germline after midlife. 1/8

[Eric Greer Lab @EricGreerLab]

DAF-9 was previously shown by @AntebiLab to produce the signaling lipid dafachronic acid to signal from the germline to the soma to regulate lifespan. https://t.co/Hkn59wK1hB , https://t.co/dlDNP9xjlL . dimt-1 induced lifespan extension was dependent on this pathway 7/8
