Check out our preprint on how Swim Exercise in C. elegans extends healthspan, increases learning ability, and protects against neurodegeneration. #aging #celegans #exercise #mitochondria #neurodegeneration biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

OK, I’m excited to share our pre-print of the craziest thing we’ve ever found! Here's a thread explaining it 1/18 Cross-kingdom recognition of bacterial small RNAs induces transgenerational pathogenic avoidance biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Worms have dendritic spines too! See a new paper from the Miller and Zhen labs describing functional dendrite spines in #Celegans neurons elifesciences.org/articles/47918

Very interesting results regarding the academic job application process

Brain waves generated during deep sleep appear to trigger a cleaning system in the brain that removes toxins associated with Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, a new study finds. n.pr/2Wy6I3j

Swim exercise in the microscopic roundworm C. elegans leads to health benefits in muscle, pharynx, intestine, and neurons (e.g. increased learning ability and protection against neurodegeneration). Our paper is now online! pnas.org/content/early/… PNASNews

If you are a scientist in any discipline and you want to contribute to the fight against COVID-19, we have created a platform to help you do so: crowdfightcovid19.org And if you're already working on COVID-19, this is also for you! More details in the thread 👇

Check out the studies about the 'Biology of spaceflight' that were just published across the Cell Press journals. cell.com/c/the-biology-… Our preprint on how spaceflight affects C. elegans neurons is also included in this package!

Which cake would you prefer (photos attached)? 1. Sponge cake w/ custard (2 layers) 2. Marble cake w/ chocolate mousse (4 layers)

The Molecular Muscle Experiment-2 arrived at the International Space Station on Saturday, and we had to process it immediately. Inside these cartridges are microscopic worms, C. Elegans, that are monitored to research muscle decay.

Thanks for taking good care of our worm experiment, Thomas! 🙏🏻 #wormsinspace #MME2

EXCITING NEWS! The MME2 worms have made it back to Earth and are now in the Ohio labs. Here is a picture of one of the experimental cassettes we have removed from the freezer ready for opening. Stay tuned for more updates. #wormsinspace #MME2 Ohio University UK Space Agency Centre Of Metabolism, Ageing & Physiology (COMAP)
