glad to be making science content!

Researchers engineered an enzyme to reverse CML, an advanced glycation end product considered an irreversible marker of aging.

In this video, I breakdown the findings and give my thoughts!

AI can now design antibodies to hit a target you pick — no animals, no massive screens.

I spoke with @santimillef to unpack Germinal, the open-source pipeline behind it.

We discuss how it works, the bottlenecks and what's next :

Are we targeting aging the wrong way?

In this interview with Peter Fedichev (@fedichev), CEO of Gero, we discuss why many longevity interventions may only be tackling “level 1” aging.

🎉 Congrats to #AGE2026 Early Career Scholar Awardee Eleanor Sheekey (@BDR_RIKEN)!
Recognized by the #AmericanAgingAssociation, her research studies how the extracellular matrix shapes cellular rejuvenation — uncovering how tissue environments influence aging and regeneration.

[Eleanor Sheekey @EleanorSheekey]

It turns out with a bit of physics, you don't need 300 theories to explain aging—just 3 variables.

In this video I show how this model can be used to categorise longevity interventions into 3 distinct levels based on their potential to extend lifespan.

This week I spoke with Dr Luis Garza about his lab's interest in skin rejuvenation and a recent clinical trial they conducted ectopically placing feet fibroblasts into the thigh to increase skin thickness...

Enjoy!! https://t.co/8mPDAZEEMb

[Eleanor Sheekey @EleanorSheekey]

Did you know this about tissue rejuvenation...??

This week I spoke with Jason Mills (@millsjc67 ) about his lab's research on Paligenosis, the process of a differentiated cell re-entering the cell cycle!!

Thank you for the discussion!! 🙏

[Eleanor Sheekey @EleanorSheekey]

This week I spoke with Christie Wilcox(@NerdyChristie ) all about venomous creatures and how they mastered biochemistry!!

Thank you for coming on the show!

How does dosage of RAS alter the senescent state and tumour initiation?

Latest paper from the @Narita_Lab* spearheaded by @adelynechan and Harrod!! Great job!!

Please check it out!!

Had a great few days at @YicsaC 2024 - Oxford edition!! Was shocked I enjoyed the other city soo much (😄) but of course was not shocked by the quality of talks/posters and kindness of all attendees!

Have you heard the news?

I made a short explainer video here: (https://t.co/Prkcfg3rsq ) @xprize

Have you always wanted to watch my show on Spotify?

Well, now you can --> https://t.co/HLWYX8xQ2s

I will be backloading older interviews onto the site - so if you missed them already or want to revisit, now is the time! 🔥🔥💪

[Aaron Edwards @aedwards02]

@EleanorSheekey nails it again with a succinct CRISPR-cancer short! Love the blend of smart script and fun visuals. Kudos to the mini-shoutout of @rcm181's multiplex editing for solid tumor CAR-T pre-print! 👏

Ever wondered if blood type is linked with longevity??

Figure 5.3: Thesis submission day with my PhD partner in crime.

@DanisThomas4 and I both handed in yesterday afternoon! We try to look serious here, but the past four years have been much fun! I remain in the @narita_lab until December while I work out what I do next!
