New mouse model of premature aging based on direct induction of epigenetic dysregulation (loss of H3K9me3). Amazing age-associated phenotypes. First of its class and strongly supporting the "loss of heterochromatin" theory of aging. @AgingBiology @AgingHighlights @agingdoc1
Extremely happy to present our new manuscript investigating the role of epigenetic dysregulation as driver of mammalian aging. Congratulations to @CalidaMrabti and all the authors and collaborators for the fantastic work!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
@ydeigin has a really deep knowledge about partial reprogramming and aging. The pleasure was absolutely mine!
It was a great pleasure and an incredible honor to co-host partial reprogramming workshops at @LBF_org’s LBF4 with Alejandro Ocampo (@aocampox) — the person whose 2016 Ocampo et al. paper has started the entire partial reprogramming field!🚀 🙏@realNathanCheng, @MarkHamalainen
Small molecules…
Today in @ScienceMagazine, together with my former colleagues at NIBR, we report the discovery and characterization of first molecular glue degraders of the WIZ transcription factor (TF) for fetal hemoglobin derepression and therapeutic consideration in Sickle Cell Disease. 1/10
Some days I feel like a loser. This is not a post asking for pity. I'm just being honest about the ups and downs of life, in case someone out there is feeling the same today and might read these words: we're in this together 👊 Keep going, keep trying, keep creating ❤
Great manuscript describing our work in C. elegans to identify novel molecules that can extend lifespan across species. Congratulations to @kgiperez Grace Phelps and the rest of the team at @epiterna_ 🪱🚀
Glad to share our second manuscript coming out of @epiterna_! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In this study, we evaluated some of the most commonly reported lifespan-extending molecules in C. elegans, examining their effects on lifespan with different diets, strains, and starting age. By
I’m going to have to file this one under “water is wet”. Until extremely recently, FDA required ALL drugs to be tested in animals before they go to humans. And thereafter, they follow clinical trial failure rates writ large, which are 90-95%. cen.acs.org/pharmaceutical…
So useful and important content for the field! Surprisingly underappreciated. Thank you @mkaeberlein
alpha-ketoglutarate 2,4-dinitrophenol hydralazine nebivolol 16α-hydroxyestriol sodium thiosulfate canagliflozin 7 drugs tested for lifespan effects. Which ones worked? youtu.be/b4VaXqeli8c
Here are 8 drugs that researchers have tested in the Interventions Testing Program. What do these have in common? Find out from @mkaeberlein: youtu.be/b4VaXqeli8c
Nietzsche hits different.
Fantastic to finally meet and chat to partial reprogramming pioneer @aocampox at the Systems Aging @GordonConf in Castelldefels, Spain. Many exciting studies and discussions on cellular rejuvenation and how to use it to develop safe and effective therapies.
Yes, let’s create a new path to prevent functional decline and chronic diseases. It’s unfortunate that almost every longevity company is forced to go after a disease once it has occurred. It’s a distraction from their goal.
We need an "abundance agenda" for clinical trials - and many more ideas for making them cheaper, faster, and more effective (use of AI; new animal models; new regulatory pathways for endpoints; pre-recruited large cohorts of potential patients, etc). media.nature.com/original/magaz…
The pleasure was mine. Thank you @LBF_org for the invitation and @ydeigin for co-hosting this workshop. Yuri has been a great supporter of partial reprogramming from the early days and I am very happy to collaborate with him and follow his progress in the field!
I wonder if this is what the more radical AI drug discovery advocates (and their capital sources) are thinking about doing with all those human scientists who require so much care and feeding 🤔
💯
Instead of a large animal (mice🐀), we decided to investigate the effects of in vivo reprogramming in a smaller one (worms🪱). Happy with the results and excited about the new experiments that we are currently performing, which would take years in mice. The best is yet to come!
New Preprint Alert! Induction of in vivo reprogramming in C. elegans has negative effects during development and is highly toxic. Congratulations to @haque_nibrasul members of @OcampoLab and collaborators! The best is yet to come! 🪱 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
@OraBiomedical CEO @mitchellblee33 gave @mkaeberlein the lowdown on doing high-throughput longevity drug discovery using worms, robotics + AI, and the general public. He aims to create the world's largest and most robust longevity interventions database. youtu.be/Lon8J-GMw48
I don’t care what you tell me, if it doesn’t extend lifespan, it doesn’t extend lifespan!
Amazing studies by Jun Wu’s lab and collaborators! Always pushing the limits of what is possible! Congratulations!
In a pair of studies published in Cell today, we used interspecies blastocyst complementation to study brain function and evolution. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…. cell.com/cell/fulltext/….
It is amusing that, for example, of the 2 approved treatments for age-related lung fibrosis (nintedanib and pirfenidone) - clinicians have no idea for how either of them work. And, in contrast, all the treatments for which we had “rationale” (eg Pamrevlumab) failed IPF trials miserably. Rationale is an irrelevant joke when you realize it is sampled from the 1% of the little that we know about these diseases (with the 99% being a dark matter)
Great coverage of our story on prescription drugs and mortality risk in @Telegraph today! telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
