@mbeisen They should give him a super Nobel. Big and shiny. A Trump nobel that will only be awarded once. Special prizes for special people

Excited to share our new work on immune aging! We explored whether the liver could serve as a temporary "factory" to produce immune factors that decline with aging, potentially helping to rejuvenate aged immunity. @mircoscopy.

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.”

The question of how incretin-mimetics (i.e., GLP-1RA like semaglutide) affect muscle mass and function is very important and has been haunting the field for quite a while now. So, I am particularly pleased to share our recent paper on the matter:

We’re happy to share our new study out today @NatureCellBio

We show that a chromatin factor, ZNF280A, is required for DNA double strand break repair, linking its absence to clinical features in 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome.

Really excited to share our new study, where we identified ZNF280A, a novel regulator of homologous recombination during DNA repair, linked to the human 22q11.2 distal deletion syndrome. A special shout out to @ThomasLClarke for leading the project!

“America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.”

• 80% of Americans agree
• 20% disagree

“I would be better off if I worked in a factory.”

• 25% of Americans agree
• 73% disagree
• 2% currently work in a factory

I'm excited to present a small method project of mine from @RutterLab! Here we designed a dual-purification system to isolate mitochondrial subpopulations based on their proximity to membranous organelles. All constructs will be available on Addgene soon!

Our thymus, a critical source and trainer of T cells, involutes with aging. 2 new studies find a growth factor (FGF21) that delays involution (in mouse models) and may be a way to rejuvenate our immune system and promote healthy aging in the future.
