Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated?

Genluminati follows a group of young scientists who invent a DNA-based religion as a cynical experiment—only to lose control of it when belief spreads, and a prophet emerges. Did the concept begin as #satire for you, or did you always see it turning dark?

This positions SIRT6 as a critical, upstream drug target for combating neurodegenerative pathology.

SIRT6 decline throws Off Mood, Sleep, and Cognition.
https://t.co/3NSXGGoisF
Tryptophan byproducts build proteins, NAD+, and neurotransmitters (serotonin and melatonin). Yet, in aging and neurological disease, this balance is lost, leading to impaired mood, learning, and sleep.
Crucially, we show that this damage isn't permanent. By inhibiting the enzyme TDO2 in our SIRT6 knockout fly model, we were able to significantly reverse both neuromotor decline and vacuolar formation, indicating a powerful therapeutic window.
They turn it into a social experiment, testing people’s faith. The book explores their lives as PhD students doing research and as the masterminds behind a new religion, delving into moral and ethical dilemmas when things spiral out of control. Paperback https://t.co/FkFCciN1X8
GENLUMINATI is now available!
In this work of fiction, a group of university friends studying biology becomes obsessed with the idea of creating a religion based on “reading your own genome to achieve enlightenment.”
