As the year comes to an end, time to review the major breakthroughs in aging research of 2024. I think the top 2024 study was the publication of epigenetic predictors of species lifespan and life-history traits by Prof Steve Horvath et al. Amazing work! 1/4 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Despite the loss to Texas, Cam Skattebo put on an EPIC show 🍿

View from my old apartment in Santa Monica, one block outside evacuation zone. All the hills in Temescal canyon, Los Leones, and Mandeville canyon are torched

ASU had such a special season. I can’t wait to go to some games behind coach Dillingham next year 😈

🌟 Exciting advancements in regenerative medicine! Check out this article featuring Dr. Michael Hicks, who is creating skeletal muscle from pluripotent stem cells for muscle-related injuries and diseases! 🧬💪 scientia.global/dr-michael-hic… - via:Scientia

Looks like my department jumped into first place this yr by a hefty margin. We were ranked in the 20's when I started a few yrs ago... Just saying 🙃

So proud of our lab for attending the Stand up for Science rally in Los Angeles yesterday. You will make a difference ❤️ @NafPascal Isam Adam Hannah Savage Kai Kessenbrock UC Irvine

This is horse shit 🐎 💩 💩

I am a scientist | For those of you who haven't heard it youtube.com/watch?v=0-2k3h…

This was a fun inaugural UCI retreat with 100+ attendees and guests Drs. Sacco, Tapscott, and Lloyd!. Extra special since my student Ben Clock won best oral presentation and students Olga Jaime and Sebastien Colobong won best poster awards. My lab is rockin 🤩💡🧬🧫🔬

This amazing news made my week! 🎊 I’m beyond blessed to be part of the BrightFocus Foundation community while studying the protective microglial responses in the context of Alzheimer’s disease. Super thankful to Blurton-Jones Lab and the entire MBJ team for their continuous support!

Rockstars 🤩

Exciting story, Congrats Tom and team! The timed release of growth factors from the scaffolds is especially cool.😎

Musculoskeletal organoids screening for developmental diseases will be a great here

I'm an inventor! 🦾🧬🔬

BREAKING NEWS The 2025 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.”

the fact that the government shutdown has had zero impact on my life tells me the government is useless.

Our lab’s own Olga Jaime is featured by UC Irvine School of Medicine for her work on muscle regeneration and STEM outreach. Olga hits the postdoc market soon: bring coffee and startup funds and she’ll supply the myogenesis. medschool.uci.edu/news/muscle-re…
