Thrilled to share our story in its final form! nature.com/articles/s41... 💥 After ~10 years, we show that BMAL1 represses transposons via chromatin regulation in embryonic stem cells—rather than circadian rhythms as in adult tissues.

When and how do we start aging? Our recent work, led by Amador Gallardo, suggests that aberrant expression of ancient viral remnants in our genome—already during embryonic development—may induce aging in adults. 😮https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-63778-4.pdf

Cold memories control whole-body thermoregulatory responses - Nature
Cold-sensitive engrams contribute to learned thermoregulation in mice that are returned to an environment in which they previously experienced a cold challenge, through a network formed between the hippocampus and hypothalamus that enables the recall of cold-related memories.
