My student Rebecca McIntyre presented her work (together with Georges Janssens) today at the Dutch aging meeting. They used bioinformatics to identify new anti-aging drugs, which indeed improved life- and healthspan in worms and lifespan in flies!
Our latest review on aging and age-related disease. We discuss the role of mitochondrial dynamics, ie fusion/fission. Great work by Yasmine Liu and Rebecca McIntyre! Stay tuned for some experimental science in this domain đŹ. For now, see sciencedirect.com/science/articlâŠ
An amazing piece of work from my colleagues Marte Molenaars and Georges Janssens ! đđđ
This week we tried to make the most of extraordinary circumstances and had our first Zoom lab meeting - with @EllieCorazolla Marte Molenaars Georges Janssens Yasmine Liu Rebecca McIntyre Rubén Zapata Pérez #staysafe #FlattenTheCurve
Happy to share our latest, previously on bioRxiv now in Journal of Cell Biology. Work by Yasmine Liu, Rebecca McIntyre, Georges Janssens! And great collaborators like @William_Mair. Mitochondrial translation and dynamics synergistically extend lifespan in C. elegans through HLH-30. âŹïž
So excited to see this work published today in Aging Cell ! We found that by inhibiting the neuromuscular acetylcholine receptor with atracurium, FOXO/DAFâ16 is activated, thereby extending longevity in C. elegans. Congratulations to the whole team! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/acâŠ
Our newest work is now online Frontiers - Aging! Georges Janssens, Riekelt Houtkooper, nemalifeinc, and I worked together to predict biological age from movement data, then identify interventions that could benefit healthy aging! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33âŠ
Itâs been a great week with many excellent speakers at #ARDD2021 . Especially fun to see both my supervisors Riekelt Houtkooper and Georges Janssens each present our groupâs work!
My friend and colleague Dr. Alex Cloherty won FameLabNL because sheâs a rocking science communicator. Here she introduces her blog and explains why microbes are so important! Major kudos to those who go the extra mile to make science more relatable.
She won! Congratulations Dr. Alex Cloherty! You did such an amazing job đ
On 13-14 June, we will finally have our Dutch Translational Metabolism conference. Great keynotes Giles Yeo, Anu Suomalainen Wartiovaara, Prof Lora Heisler, Anja Zeigerer and Kei Sakamoto, and junior speakers. Still some spots to register! translationalmetabolism.nl/dtmc-2022/progâŠ
Registering an unusual moment: While Rebecca McIntyre is at #ardd2022 to present our latest unpublished work I get to score her lifespan experiments for the paper revision đ #backinthelab #staytuned
We did it! Thank you to Riekelt Houtkooper and Georges Janssens for the most amazing supervision the last years. It is hard to leave but also so excited for the next adventure!
Is lactate really a âphoenix risenâ that drives numerous beneficial effects of exercise? Our new study in Nature Metabolism reveals major methodological flaws that affect studies of sodium lactate and potentially also other metabolite salts. Thread đ 1/16 nature.com/articles/s4225âŠ
Zach Gerhart-Hines group Olivia Sveidahl Johansen, Julius, Lucile Dollet, Rebecca McIntyre, Astrid Linde Basse and Jens Lund with honorary member Carla Horvath out in the wild at the first ever #MAPS retreat. Looking forward to repeating this next year! NNF Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR)
