Why does caloric restriction boost lifespan?
This study of ~1,000 mice finds (surprisingly) it's less to do with lowering fat mass, and more to do with boosting immune function and stress resilience

Did my first poster in my PhD!
Sadly, I had no picture with my labmates, but had one with my co-poster presenters/officemates π .
Thanks @tuluclab, Petro, Steffi, Laura, Noelia, and Christina π.
Nina and Horia in the picture :).
It's fun to reunite with my MSc labmates from the Philippines π₯Ή.
We diverged so much in topics, from cancer cells, to parasitology, CAzymes, marine genomics, drug discovery oriented metagenomics, etc. (can't remember the details π ).
Fresh publication from my mentors!
In this paper, they have described the difference on the electrical activity, and on possible mechanisms that explain this difference. Congratulations ππ, especially to @Noelia_JacoboP!
Very happy to share that our story on the "Sex differences in electrical activity of mouse pancreatic Ξ²-cells" is out in @JCI_insight. Congratulations Noelia (@noelia_jacoboP) for a fantastic work! #islets#Diabetes https://t.co/3WTwsVcupl
