NEW paper 🚨 We updated the mouse data in DrugAge to reveal sex-related differences in lifespan and weight effects. We found that, mostly in males, drug-induced life extension in mice correlates with weight loss. Amazing effort by aleksey ! nature.com/articles/s4151…

Impressive work showing that "many functionally young-like clones persist in old age". This again illustrates how ageing is a very heterogeneous process where, due to (epi)mutations, you end up with mosaics of cells that are a mix of functional and nonfunctional cells.

Thank you Csaba Kerepesi for the invitation to present our computational work on ageing Hungarian Research Network | HUN-REN Institute for Computer Science and Control in stunning Budapest. In silico methods are crucial to tackle the complexity of biology and gather insights into ageing and longevity.

Fascinating work by David Gems UCL on osteoarthritis (OA) from a programmatic perspective 🤯 His framework is that OA is caused by programmatic changes that prime chondrocytes for futile program activation as a form of antagonistic pleiotropy. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Combining two drugs (trametinib and rapamycin) resulted in one of the greatest life-extensions observed in mice - 27% (males) and 29% (females). Both are anticancer drugs and treatment reduced tumor load, though other benefits were observed (eg reduced inflammation).
