🧬 A few bullets on the significance of this paper (starting thread):
@AlbertVilella Thanks for sharing @AlbertVilella ! Agreed that saliva as a tissue type is such an exciting area for research in non-invasive biomarkers!
Thanks for sharing! Looking forwards to further validate InflammAge and make it part of the suite of @agingbiomarkers at our disposal for research and clinical trials.
1/5 👅 Co-authored by Contributor Riccardo Marioni (@MarioniGroup), this recent preprint describes a novel framework for saliva-based DNA methylation biomarkers. Leveraging blood DNAm data and EpiScores, InflammAge is introduced, a clock quantifying systemic chronic inflammation.

If you are interested in #ageing and #DNAmethylation biomarkers, have a look at our latest work on how to measure chronic inflammation from saliva. Amazing collaboration with @MarioniGroup @bayerconsumer@Lord_Lab!
Super excited to share our preprint on inferring biomarker signatures across 3,308 binary traits from @uk_biobank leveraging 67 quantitative traits with #MILTON & boosting PheWAS signals.

@dimvitsios@uk_biobank Amazing work @dimvitsios ! Do you get disease predictors with common Biomarkers that could be leveraged for preventative healthcare better than current methods / goldstandard diagnostics?

The first experiment of the Mosteiro lab! So excited to start my lab with these amazing scientists and looking forward to the adventures ahead! 🔬🧬🧫🥼👩🏽🔬
New pre-print alert 🚨 @franci_tag shows that DNMT3B PWWP mutations cause hypermethylation of H3K9me3 heterochromatin that is facilitated by its N-terminus. You can read more here: https://t.co/mQdXSUA62P
