The ultimate sacrifice?
🔥Amazing work @NatureAging by Tehila and Eitan, demonstrating that the germline regulates vertebrate longevity and somatic repair!
A fun collaboration with @SagivShifman, @WJGreenleaf, Oren Ram & Ehud Cohen!

The ultimate sacrifice?
In a beautiful preprint led by Eitan and Tehila, we demonstrate that ablating the germline in vertebrates has a sex-specific effect, significantly prolonging male lifespan while conferring exceptional stress resistance in females! https://t.co/is3q9yKNeG
Excited to share our new paper @Dev_Cell on how manipulating AMP biosynthesis can extend vertebrate lifespan!
Huge congrats to @TehilaAtlan, @GwenAstre, and all the authors! It was a fun collaboration with @Joris_Deelen & @LevanonLab!

A 🧵...
I presented a talk at the https://t.co/yyufTFXK1X meeting on the last Friday. I was waiting and afraid of this for almost a month, but in the end, I bit enjoyed being on the stage🙂. Thanks to the people who were with me on this journey. @ItamarHarel
Itai and Eitan got the cover! :)
Check out the latest issue of CSH Protocols, in which we describe a step-by-step guide for efficient CRISPR–Cas9 genome editing in killifish:

The 'blueprint' represents the versatility of this experimental model system!
1/5) Do males and females age differently? What happens to our metabolism as we age? Is it reversible?
Using the turquoise killifish, we identified sex-specific regulation of metabolic health and lifespan by AMP biosynthesis.
