Check out our latest Comment in Nature Cell Biology on #autophagy (how cells of your body recycle damaged material). While declining autophagy is often seen as a hallmark of #ageing, we explore emerging exceptions to this idea. SAHMRI Uni of Adelaide nature.com/articles/s4155…

Does autophagy really decline with ageing? What can LC3-based measurements truly tell us about autophagy? And how can we bridge the gap between preclinical findings and human biology? We explore these questions in our latest comment in Nature Cell Biology: bit.ly/4cjOSHU

In our recent Nature Cell Biology comment, we highlight mounting evidence that —contrary to dogma— #autophagy doesn’t always decline with age.. in fact, it often increases! Sanjna Singh Assoc. Prof. Tim Sargeant SAHMRI The Hospital Research Foundation Group nature.com/articles/s4155…

We can't work out why funds designated to medical research can't be released from the MRFF. Not new debt, current funds. So we animated it šŸ‘‡. Share this, tag in your MPs, and help AAMRI secure the election promise that the unspent funds, that are allocated and available, will be

Beyond the Hallmarks: What are we missing in ageing research? At the Global Conference on Gerophysics 2025, I posed several uncomfortable—but necessary—questions: šŸ”¹ Why haven't we don better than caloric restriction for lifespan extension in mammals—after 50 years? šŸ”¹ Have

New study: we measured autophagic flux in human blood and compare intermittent fasting with calorie restriction = the largest human autophagy study to date. Although significant, changes in autophagy were modest. #autophagy #fasting #aging SAHMRI physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

NEW STUDY: It's dogma that fasting is good for you because it increases autophagy, the recycling of cell parts. But in the largest study ever, 6 months of time-restricted eating (TRE) or calorie restriction (CR) did not increase autophagy Huh? Is fasting still worth it? ... 🧵

In a recent study published by our group, we measured autophagic flux in human PBMCs. We cannot yet measure #autophagy in organs, which is why we are developing tissue specific autophagy biomarkers.

I'm looking forward to attending the 11th International Symposium on #Autophagy. The last one in Sapporo, Japan was a great meeting and that is set to continue in Lorne, Victoria, in November of this year. Early bird rego closes August 29 here: isa11.org #isa11
