Ageing is not just a linear process. We’ve developed a new tool, SNITCH, that reveals sharp shifts in DNA methylation at specific ages, exposing hidden genomic complexity. This finding has implications for ageing, disease risk and future therapeutic approaches. Read more: armi.org.au/news-media/m...

Proud to have collaborated on this Nature paper published overnight, revealing convergent evolution in brain immunity. Cells guarding brain borders evolved twice: lymphatic-derived in non-mammals, immune-derived in humans and other mammals.
New research led by Prof @benjhogan.bsky.social has revealed a surprising evolutionary switch in the brain’s immune system - uncovering how specialised immune cells at the borders of the brain evolved, and why they behave so differently in humans.

Some wounds never heal. Dr Yen-Zhen (Angel) Lu is working to change that. Her work reveals how sensory neurons and immune cells coordinate tissue repair and why this matters for chronic wounds. With an ARC DECRA, she is now uncovering how nerves first activate after injury. Read more: bit.ly/4rFbAl7

Men may have to exercise more than women to get same heart benefits
Among over-50s, women seem to require less exercise than men to get the same reduction in heart disease risk, suggesting health guidelines need to be updated

How does ageing differ between men and women?
Dr Robin Grolaux (in @nireynon.bsky.social's group) is studying non-linear DNA methylation patterns that reveal key differences in how men and women age and what that means for inflammation and cancer risk.
