New preprint: We found that early-adulthood intermittent fasting and reduced insulin signalling (rIIS) additively increase lifespan and reduce reproductive ageing: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/6

Why do organisms age? We attempted to present a unified overview of evolutionary genetic and physiological theories of ageing, with a focus on emerging evolutionary physiological theory – developmental theory of ageing (DTA): bit.ly/4c59xiG 1/5

Adam Grant Marissa Shandell Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, trauma, or significant sources of stress. It's not about avoiding difficulties, but rather learning to thrive during and after them. It's about adapting well and recovering quickly. Cultivating resilience involves several

Incredible DNA methylation predictors of mammalian life history traits. Amazingly, an epigenetic signature intrinsic to a species predicts its lifespan. Congratulations Prof Steve Horvath et al, one of the most mind-blowing discoveries I have ever seen🤯 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Germline removal benefits males more than females - led by Martin Lind in Aging Cell : onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… (see earlier bioRxiv link below). Stress resistance improved in both sexes. Remarkable congruence with killifish work pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38750187/ Itamar Harel

This year’s medicine laureates Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun studied a relatively unassuming 1 mm long roundworm, C. elegans. Despite its small size, C. elegans possesses many specialised cell types such as nerve and muscle cells also found in larger, more complex animals,

The Gutenberg workshop on the Evolution of Ageing in Ingelheim, Germany, was a fabulous meeting. Excellent talks, very stimulating discussions & fun social programs. Many thanks to the organizers and all the participants for such a great experience!
