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.

When the most popular longevity interventions (like rapamycin) were tested in mice, specific triglyceride changes were the top predictors of increased lifespan

One of the most exciting thing happening in the aging/longevity field that too few people discuss is that the aggregate pipeline of the entire sector has hit the exciting point where things are trickling thru to FDA approval & many more are on the way. My talk recently posted.

TRIAD — the Test of Rapamycin in Aging Dogs — is the first-ever veterinary clinical trial focused on slowing aging and extending healthy lifespan in companion dogs. I'm so excited to see dogs completing the trial. This moment has been a long time coming. I first envisioned

Just got notice the NIH grant supporting top trainees in my lab working on epigenetic reprogramming to cure diseases that needlessly disable and kill millions of americans a year has been terminated. Pointless and cruel

Per Boston Globe, ALL Harvard Medical School grants from federal government are cancelled. Here's the pie chart of their budget. The cancellations affect everything, from biostatistics department to longevity researcher David Sinclair. Story from Boston Globe in reply.
