Wondering if your study section cancelled? I update this sheet daily. As of today, 56/124 study sections that should have met since Jan 2, 2025 have "not met as scheduled." docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Data request! Do you assess frailty index in your aging C57 mouse studies? @dantong-zhu.bsky.social is making new and improved clocks to predict age and lifespan based on frailty data & we aim to validate widely! Reach out if you want to collaborate 🐀👵⏰ Especially if you have female data + lifespan!

Introducing "Metagenomic Estimation of Dietary Intake", or "MEDI": a data-driven approach to estimating dietary and nutritional intake from stool DNA 💩 - 🍌🥦🐟🥩📈 See @cdiener.com's excellent thread below. We are really proud of this work, and we hope it is useful to the scientific community.

Happy to announce that MEDI, our method to quantify dietary intake through metagenomics is out now. 🧬 🧪🧫🦠 www.nature.com/articles/s42... #metagenomics #microbiome #microbiomesky So what is MEDI? A combination of two things:

Metabolomics biomarkers of frailty: a longitudinal study of aging female and male mice "...In summary, our results identify sex-specific metabolite biomarkers of frailty in aging, and shed light on potential mechanisms involved in frailty" @alicekane.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Biological sex is a key modifier of #aging phenotypes, including #Brain 🧠 aging. See this piece out today in #Neuron, spearheaded by @denadubal.bsky.social, co-authored by #YousinSuh, @ctmurphy1.bsky.social and myself on the topic: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #GeroSky #SexDifferences

Check out the first publication from the Kane lab @isbscience.org! RNAseq analysis of sex differences in aging across tissues - spoiler alert - there are lots of them! bsd.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... Congratulations and thans to @dantong-zhu.bsky.social, @judywbio.bsky.social & other authors.
