Today at @LinkGevity we’re targeting #necrosis - a key driver of #aging and disease - with LINK-001, designed to prevent degeneration. Thanks to @JanineMachin @BBC for featuring our work and to our supporters and collaborators @RoyalPapworth @BabrahamUK @HealthInnovEast @addenbrookes Link to article in comments 👇

Excessive vigorous exercise impairs cognitive function through a muscle-derived mitochondrial pretender

🔎"Here, we show that excessive vigorous exercise-induced lactate accumulation stimulates muscles to secrete mitochondria-derived vesicles (MDVs), driving cognitive impairment. These MDVs (named otMDVs) are characterized by high mtDNA levels and the surface marker PAF. They tend to migrate into hippocampal neurons, substituting endogenous mitochondria and triggering a synaptic energy crisis."

👉"Notably, human studies link high circulating otMDV levels to cognitive impairment. Together, our findings reveal that a unique muscle-derived MDV subpopulation, which displaces hippocampal mitochondria and disrupts their function, causes cognitive decline."

For a long time, astrocytes were considered mere support and scaffolding for all-important neurons. The new experiments reveal in great detail the cells’ influence over neuronal signaling in the brain. https://t.co/9R5oDQw7q4

As 2025 comes to a close, I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished at @LinkGevity and what’s possible when you challenge orthodoxy. This year, welcoming my nephew made the “why” even clearer.
Onwards to 2026! 🚀 #longevity #aging #ageing #necrosis

[Nature Biotechnology @NatureBiotech]

This year, biotechnology was characterized by accelerated convergence between gene editing, cell and gene therapy, immunotherapy, and AI. CRISPR-based editing tools are more precise and clinically relevant, and biotech continues to push the boundaries of immunotherapy. Quantum computing has also made it into our list of favorite articles published this past year https://t.co/zFB9iG1bSq

How animals detect the Earth’s magnetic field remains a mystery in sensory biology.

In a new Science study, researchers used whole brain activity mapping, tissue clearing, and light sheet microscopy to identify neuronal populations activated by magnetic stimuli in the pigeon. Learn more: https://t.co/DV1MEXigKV

The domestic cat may be a far more recent arrival to Europe than previously thought, arriving roughly 2000 years ago and not because of the Paleolithic expansion of Near East farmers.

The findings in Science offer new insight into one of humanity’s most enigmatic animal companions and identify North Africa as the cradle of the modern housecat. https://t.co/RNGXapyWAA

Studying retinal morphogenesis in the developing eye of fruit flies, researchers in Science identified spontaneous calcium waves originating from non-neuronal cells responsible for orchestrating tissue architecture in the developing nervous system.
