Just a reminder.

When most detectable genes change in a transcriptomic study the principles of global normalisation fail - blind use of code is dumb.

Baseline VO2max doesn't predict gains in VO2max & changes in gene expression without evidence physiological adaptation are of dubious meaning.

DNA methylation clocks were always known to be confound by genetics (the Illumina assay is a repurposed SNP chip after all)

Here established (white ppl) DNAm "aging" clocks fall apart in other ethnicities (& as usual don't explain much clinical variation in anyone)

Aside from this, the trial design is flawed. It's well established the IS response to a training program (single arm) are >> heterogeneous, i.e. mean differences between small subgroups, on different treatments, can't be attributed to protocol alone 🤦‍♂️

2/3 How do u publish a study like this & not cite the largest HIT study in over-weight, sedentary adults (doi.org/10.3389/fend...) with varying degrees of IR, where they identified a molecular signature related (doi.org/10.1093/nar/...) to reversal of IR?

A retraction by Oncotarget, but the journal is taking all the credit for my 2020 findings!

"Oncotarget’s Image Forensics analysis identified multiple instances of image manipulations".

What a crappy move from Oncotarget.

How is ScienceGuardians different from PubPeer?
Several PubPeer users have been able to register on ScienceGuardians and post the exact same type of concerns.
Why is PubPeer "unaccountable" and "malicious" and SG "respectful" and "accountable"?
I see absolutely no difference.

The do’s and don’ts of scientific image editing

Acceptable image-editing practices are partly a matter of common sense. But researchers say journals and funders could help scientists by standardizing policies.

The results, based on 1 mouse strain are interesting but life-long reduction in NAD+ doesn't in itself challenge that loss of NAD+ in humans doesn't a) have consequences or b) respond to supplemental intervention.

As usual, headline below is more marketing than clinical science.

Same issue with every positive TG/KO mouse story - one strain, life long accommodation to the defect.
On different genetics, different diet or different housing temperature who knows 🤷‍♂️
Broader question is how often are KO/TG mice on one background informative ?
