You can deliver mRNA to worms by feeding using nanogel encapsulation. Not germ line (yet) but already useful for quickly testing gene function in an animal. What libraries should test?

2024's top 10 advances in biology (🧵) 1. Progress in longevity Blocking the pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL11, extended healthspan and lifespan (in mice!) Old mice without IL11 look healthier, they're stronger, and they live longer nature.com/articles/s4158…

I recently started a new account on Blue sky, the science feed is quite nice already: bsky.app/profile/meyerd… #aging #bioinformatics

For long, Twitter provided a platform for underrepresented folks, including me. It's sad to lose the network I built here, but that's nothing compared to the outright racism and division perpetuated here. I can't support this. There won't be any updates here from my lab here

1/ Some scientists do research. Others explain it. Eleanor Sheekey does both. She’s decoding longevity on YouTube, in the lab, and at Vitalist Bay's Longevity Science Conference on April 12-13. From senescent cells to epigenetic reprogramming, here’s why she’s a must-follow:

Hello from Day 3 at #EESAgeing 📸 ⏳ Marta Marzullo talking about interplay between aging and ALS 🗝️ David Meyer on Neuron-type specific aging-rate, 🏆 Our amazing conference organiser Sophie 🌯 Some tasty conference food

1/8 Why does eating less extend lifespan? 🧬 We often think about saving energy or recycling waste - but we show how evolution acting on mutation load can generate longer life on low food 🧵 and preprint below: 🔗 tinyurl.com/jn5ryhxv
