Just published “Synaptotagmins 1 and 7 in vesicle release from rods of mouse retina” after a very long and tedious road of breeding to obtain genetic crosses in which Syt1, Syt7, or both, were eliminated in rods, or cones, or both. It’s finally here! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our aging paper just came out. Two periods of major changes: Mid 40s and 60s. Check it out doi.org/10.1038/s43587…

🔥🔥🔥my 💯 paper is out, congrats 🎈🎉🍾 @Meyer_DH for this amazing story. Aging clocks tick by the noise: we can build aging clocks 🕰️ on accumulating stochastic variation! @CECAD_ @UniCologne @CGA_age @UKKoeln follow 🧵retweet & read now open access: nature.com/articles/s4358…

good video w some caveats: though sir2 overexpression extends replicative lifespan, this only benefits 1 in 5 million yeast cells sir2 opposes lifespan in yeast & in flies--this means that the sir2 target itself doesn't make sense as something we're trying to increase in aging

in my review on sirtuins, i documented how very weak primary research papers were amplified by an uncritical press & then codified into accepted wisdom by irreproducible primary papers & gushing review articles that went well beyond any specific result doi.org/10.1093/lifeme…

The average caloric intake in the USA: 3540 kcal/day The average daily physical activity: less than 20 min But there are people out there who believe oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, & polyunsaturated fats are what is making us sick

I'm happy to announce the start of a new free and open online course on neuroscience for people with a machine learning or similar background, co-developed by @MarcusGhosh. YouTube Videos and Jupyter-based exercises will be released weekly. There is a Discord for discussions.

Our systematic investigation of G protein coupling profiles of 100+ #GPCRs driven by the one and only Ikuo Masuho is out after ~10 years of work. We see many interesting patterns with the help of AI. Check it out- there is a useful reference table. doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

Results from our multi-site study of psilocybin-assisted therapy for MDD are live today in @JAMA_current. Psilocybin had about a 12 point MADRS advantage over niacin control at day 8 that appeared durable through 6 wk follow-up. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… 1/

once again, ppl are confusing a thing with a measure of a thing everyone knows that smoking accelerates aging. if it doesn't increase the score on your clock the clock is wrong

Next question: real measures of biological age shouldn’t get acutely worse (eg during an infection) and then better again. Should we try to create clocks that don’t do this? Steve: This is really hard! Is smoking accelerated ageing? Some clocks say yes, some say no.

"We found receptor molecules it binds to and named them after it!" Q: Does it activate or block the receptors? A: Yes! Q: Does it only bind to these receptors? A: Nah, also lots of other receptors. Q: Do the new receptors only bind our molecules? A: Not exclusively, no.
