Check out this new issue of CSH Protocols!! New protocols to study degeneration and regeneration during aging in the #killifish!! 🐠🐠🐟 Super cool work from the terrific killifish team at KU Leuven in Belgium MoonsLab, Steven Bergmans! And beautiful cover 🤩

The ultimate sacrifice? In a beautiful preprint led by Eitan and Tehila, we demonstrate that ablating the germline in vertebrates has a sex-specific effect, significantly prolonging male lifespan while conferring exceptional stress resistance in females! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Reminder that this virtual panel discussion on #behaviour as a tool in #ecotoxicology will be held on February 8th at 13:00h in Mexico City (GMT-6). Don't miss it! 🐟🐸💊🧪

We are proud of our transparent #Killifish line “klara” and our contribution to the development of the ZEISS Microscopy light sheet microscope. It`s a perfect example of a successful collaboration🤝. Johannes Krug #agingresearch #aging #lightsheet #imaging #microscopy #CRISPR

Had a fantastic discussion with researchers from UNAM, SLU Wild Research, and School of Biological Sciences, Monash about next steps in #behavioural #ecotoxicology! Thanks to Mo Camacho-Cervantes, Eli Thoré, Mariana Capparelli, Monserrat Suárez, & Bob Wong (@bbmwong.bsky.social) for their input! Will post the recording when it's up! 🔉🇲🇽🇸🇪
