Kudos to our own @yung_neuro for co-captaining the first Hypothalamus GRS, setting the stage for new fellows in the field!🎉 Great example of Calico's continued participation in basic research and our interest in this crucial 🧠 region involved in the sexual dimorphism of aging

Absolutely mind-blowing work by HongLab. Ability to clear living tissue with readily-available dyes. The implications and applications appear limitless!

Huge publication in nature by Calico disentangling the contribution of genetic diversity to dietary interventions! Treasure chest of results - like the observation that the biggest determinant of lifespan extension are immune- but not metabolism-related shorturl.at/vASeP

A recent study by Calico researchers and our collaborators from Broad Institute and @Massgeneralnews explores a new approach that may help improve cancer immunotherapy. Read the full study here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #cancerresearch #agingscience #immunotherapy

Interesting piece. The impact of upgrading the CFDA into an efficient and fast entity cannot be overstated - and should make us realize that, we need a bigger, stronger FDA with ample resources. The current talk about "reforms" is nothing but attempted budget cutting.

🚨Join an exceptional meeting this October to learn about the most novel, cutting-edge strategies for studying the biology of aging and combating age-related diseases. 🚀 With an extraordinary lineup, this is an event you absolutely won’t want to miss!! 👉tinyurl.com/3yveywwv

Cool study by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center: A mutation present in all microglia/myeloid cells across the brain drives inflammation & pathology only in cerebellum & brainstem! First discovered in 🧑‍🤝‍🧑, this holds true in 🐭 Great example of how region is a key factor for CNS pathology 🧠🔬

Excited to dig into this special issue on neuro-immune axis! Happy to share our review on microglia states and function by the fantastic Microglia duo Dr. Constanze Depp and Jordan Doman Thank you Kavitha Scranton Immunity for the opportunity cell.com/immunity/libra…

Tune in tomorrow 👇🏻 and learn what happened when we put young cells into old brains! (Spoiler: things got weird :)

Heading down from beautiful Whistler with my mind racing after four immersive days at Keystone Symposia - filled with new pathways, new tech, new ways to fight the worst diseases our brains can face. Huge kudos to the organizers for this 🏔️ of science!

Why are some brain cells more sensitive to aging? This light sheet microscopy video from Claire Gizowski in the Oliver Hahn Lab shows a cross section of a mouse brain after a process called tissue clearing, which makes it transparent so scientists can look deep inside. (1/3)

Reminder: There's still time to register for the Interventions in Aging meeting in beautiful Malta! 🇲🇹 Join an outstanding community exploring cutting-edge research and strategies to tackle aging and age-related diseases. 🧠🧬🧫 The program is🔥🔥🔥!
