Today is a very special day for me: I just started as a permanent CNRS researcher at the Institute of Light and Matter! My research will focus on the physics of biological tissues and in particular the role of activity and anisotropy.🔬

Desde la SEBBM lamentamos comunicar el fallecimiento de Joan Guinovart, acontecido esta pasada madrugada. Joan fue presidente, era socio de honor y ha sido una figura clave para nuestra sociedad, además de referente de la bioquímica tanto a nivel nacional como internacional.

Our assessment of a person's epigenetic ("biological") age has been centered on DNA methylation. A new report shows that a set of 7 histone markers has comparable accuracy and also uncovers new pathways of aging biology

Really bummed to have missed ASCB this year due to some last-minute circumstances, but excited that our manuscript describing an IF disassembly tool will (hopefully) be posted soon. Here's a movie of vimentin color-coded by orientation.

I attended @ascbiology.bsky.social meeting almost uninterruptedly since I was PhD student back in 1999. I am missing not be there this year. Hope to come back in Philadelphia. Cell biologist and cytoskeleton researchers, enjoy!!

Excited to be at #CellBio2024! Today, I'll be presenting my work exploring how the actin binding proteins and E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate neuronal morphogenesis. I'll be at poster board 40 and giving a teaser talk at 10:45 in Room 33B. Come say hi, if you love neurons, cytoskeleton or ubiquitin!

An interesting study that address a cost for life expectancy increase. We need to find “country-specific tailored interventions to maximize equitable and sustainable healthy aging”
Of 183 countries around the world, which one has the largest healthspan—lifespan gap, representing the number of years burdened by disease (i.e. non-healthy longevity)?
