Hi Bluesky community:)

Our new manuscript is now available as a preprint!⛅️

BMAL1 and YAP cooperate to hijack enhancers and promote inflammation in the aged epidermis
Ageing is characterised by persistent low-grade inflammation that is linked to impaired tissue homeostasis and functionality. However, the molecular mechanisms driving age-associated inflammation rema...
