🧬 Topic: Targeting transcriptional dysregulation in multiple myeloma

[Prof Steve Horvath @prof_horvath]

First epigenetic clock for albacore tuna, built using ultra-conserved elements (UCEs) preserved even in the mammalian DNA sequence. A small muscle biopsy predicts age with median error of just 0.88 years (r = 0.94). This opens the door to shared clocks across teleost fish and a non-lethal alternative to otolith aging for fisheries management.

This!

A completely novel axis of epigenetic aging. N6-methyldeoxyadenosine (N6medA), i.e. NOT the usual 5 methyl cytosine, increases linearly with age in human prefrontal cortex (r=0.95). Genome-wide profiling reveals age-associated ADENINE methylation changes reminiscent of classic CpG based epigenetic clocks. Abdur Rahim, Natalia Tretyakova 2026.

Woah I just noticed this correlation 🤯. At some point, do we need to consider the possibility that RFK Jr. is causing autism?

Singapore created the world's most efficient healthcare system from scratch in one generation.

They spend $4,000 per person on healthcare. We spend $15,000.

Their secret?

Some cool story and a reminder that despite the ongoing political shit shows globally, it is great to be alive and explore

NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.

I’M SO VERY SORRY EVERYONE. WE CAME TOGETHER in our tens of thousands to try & stop the Government using an unprecedented abuse of power to restrict the publics right to protest. Over 55,000 of you supported us. Tonight #labour @La@LabourLordsUK shamelessly ignored the publics outcry & backed the Government in its outrageous & unprecedented abuse of power by ABSTAINING on the fatal motion tabled by @GreenJennyJones. I have always supported @UKLabour but it’s refusal to join @LibDemLords & a small band of brave others across the House in backing tonights fatal motion was a disgrace. #labour has tonight supported the Government in restricting our right to protest. I promise I & many others did all we could to persuade #Labour to join us. Tonight they refused & sided with the Government - allowing it to restrict our right to protest & use an unprecedented abuse of power to get away with it. THIS IS NOT THE END. We shall continue the fight to protect democracy and will do it without #Labour if we must. I know each & every one of you will stand shoulder to shoulder with us
