1/8 🚨 Out now in @NatureComms 🚨 A vitamin mitigates symptoms of a rare genetic disease. Verheij syndrome is caused by mutations in the mRNA splicing factor PUF60. Vitamin B12 restores normal development in our disease model, the worm C. elegans. https://t.co/DLaQPua4Sc
Vitamin B12 alleviates Verheij syndrome-like defects via phospholipid remodeling in a C. elegans PUF60 spliceosomopathy model https://t.co/Hhe0B3yawQ #biorxiv_genetic
🚨New @biorxivpreprint: We model the splicing disease Verheij syndrome using C. elegans. Disruption of methionine and phospholipid metabolism drives growth defects; vitamin #B12 restores the balance and rescues development! #metabolism#RNAsplicing

Excited to share our latest publication in Nature Aging:
Our study leverages a quiescent state in Caenorhabditis elegans –adult reproductive diapause– to investigate stem cell longevity, regeneration, and senescence.

1/7 Out now @NatureAging🚨 We identified a genetic network of TFEB, TGFβ and NOTCH signaling regulating stem cell resilience, rejuvenation & senescence in C.elegans in response to nutrient cues, with conservation across taxa. @TJNonninger, J.Mak &B.Gerisch https://t.co/dgv4aV9lQ6
I was very excited to present my work at #CSHLageing! For those who missed it, you can now find our data on BioRxiv: https://t.co/GW2yxNx2L7
We knocked out cGAS/STING in the short-lived killifish🐟 and investigated the #aging transcriptome, #disease occurrence and #lifespan.
🌈 🏃♀️ Once again, the MPI AGE Runners had a fantastic time at the Run of Colours, with team members participating in the 5K and 10K races. A special shout out to Stefanie Kipschull for her 2nd place!🥈 What a fun and sunny day for everyone. 😀
What an incredible event. Last week, I had the privilege of presenting the latest findings from @WenmingAGE, myself, and many other wonderful people from the @AntebiLab at #ARDD2024 in Copenhagen. With renewed vigor and terrific insights, it's back to the grind!

Just wrapped up an amazing lab retreat at Gut Hungenbach, Kürten!🌳🧬We brainstormed exciting new projects, were inspired by our guest speaker @AndreasBeyer012, and had a blast hiking, playing games, and diving into deep discussions. #LabLife#ScienceRetreat#AgingResearch
Check out our review on gene regulatory networks in disease and ageing in @NatRevNeph.
