My first Bluesky paper post! I’m pleased to announce the publication of our single-nucleus atlas of adult neurons from wild-type and long-lived, better performing insulin receptor (daf-2) mutants, by Jon St. Ange and Yifei Weng et al.DOI: 10.1016/j.xgen.2024.100720

More great work by Mirre!
A recent update of our manuscript on the costs of reproduction & trade-offs underlying ageing using meta-analysis of brood size experiments in birds and fitness projections.

This is the first strong evidence showing that caloric restriction can significantly increase maximum lifespan in rodents (1935). This is a modified version of the classical tab, designed for easier readability. Whether or not you work on dietary restriction, what stands out to you in these results?

Big update to the Aging Research starter pack. Many new folks joining every day, so challenging to keep up. Related starter packs by @brunetlab.bsky.social and @paigeonthebrain.bsky.social‬. Networks are built by self-reinforced expansion and amplification.

Why do living things age? Have you heard of August Weismann? As someone passionate about the evolutionary biology of aging and the history of the field, I thought my first Bsky should highlight him—the first to propose Darwinian ideas on how aging might be shaped by natural selection🧵
