RIP James D. Watson, co-discoverer of DNAs double helix🥇Jim was a kind, generous mentor to me, who never hesitated to meet, give feedback, or share stories from the early days of molecular biology. His signed double helix hangs in my office as a reminder how one discovery can change the world 🙏

In liver disease (MASH), ER-300, an AAV-delivered package of reprogramming genes, improved multiple key liver health biomarkers in an animal model, from ALT/AST to cholesterol and steatosis (fat content) scores

This news is strong evidence that the original vision to develop therapies that reversal of aging to prevent and cure diseases of aging and injuries isn’t just a fanciful idea

All NIH grants supporting my lab's trainees and medical research have been terminated. I am not alone. We scientists work hard to make the world a better place & we will not go down without a fight 🥊

Where to get polyphenols? From berries, apples with skin, cherries, plums, pomegranates, spinach, red onions, artichokes, broccoli, asparagus, matcha green tea, black tea, coffee, dark chocolate, turmeric, beans, EVOO and any deeply-colored vegetable

Polyphenols aren't just antioxidants. They signal to the body ➡️ defend and heal. New evidence indicates that polyphenols might prevent cancer by modulating small RNAs...a thread 🧵

Haim showed that the human SIRT1 gene is activated by CR, which protects cells (Science), Dudley showed all yeast Sirtuins mediate CR (Science) & Joe showed activators improve 🐁 health (Nature)

but we didn’t know how epigenetics was related to aging, why the epigenome changed over time, if aging was reversible, how the environment influenced Sirtuin activity, or if any of this was relevant to humans

In those days, we barely knew anything about aging. The Sirtuins had just been linked to yeast aging (in the Guarente lab @mit where I’d moved from)…
