Our new paper in Nature Reviews Immunology is out: The immune system of centenarians. A huge thank you to all co-authors, especially @Abeladrian94 , Carmen Fiuza-Luces, and Alejandro Lucia. A special acknowledgement to @InmaPerezPrieto for the outstanding figures.

Our new paper on reassessing the heritability of human lifespan is out in @ScienceMagazine! 🧬 For decades, the consensus has been that genetics explains just 20–25% of lifespan differences. We found that after accounting for extrinsic mortality, that number jumps to ~50%. A 🧵

The connection between chronic inflammation and depression continues to gain empirical strength. Framing physical activity through an evolutionary lens adds depth to our understanding that movement isn't just therapy, it's biology in action. @pmcbastos #MentalHealth #Inflammation

Systemic low-grade chronic inflammation plays a central role in the development and progression of depression @pmcbastos & colleagues suggest an evolutionary framework for the role of physical activity and exercise for tackling inflammation: loom.ly/Hmjh2bU

I’m excited to share our latest review on prolactin’s role in autoimmunity, led by my dear friend Vânia Borba and published in Autoimmunity Reviews: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thrilled to announce my #Autoimmunity2024 participation in #Ljubljana, May 17-20. Join me and many other colleagues as we discuss the most up-to-date research and novel therapies for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. invt.io/1txb063vvq6

Phenomenal paper about DHA and the visual system by one of my mentors, Prof. Michael Crawford. At ~90 years old, he remains a sharp mind and a legend in the DHA field, with a wealth of knowledge. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

New study in +500k adults! Physical activity does not reduce the risk of chronic kidney disease in the short term (~2 years), but attenuates cardiovascular risk in individuals with this condition. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…

Excellent review about micronutrients in clinical practice: clinicalnutritionjournal.com/article/S0261-…

Un honor poder ser uno de los ponentes en este magnifico congreso. Muchas gracias a mi gran amigo @FernandoMataNS por la invitación y oportunidad

Outstanding review on exercise, immunity and cancer by my dear friends Carmen Fiuza, @pl_valenzuela y @AlejandroLuciaM

I’ll be speaking this week about sun-induced vitamin D synthesis at the international Evolutionary Health Conference 2023–a virtual one day event taking place this Saturday 30 Sept starting at 6:45 AM PST/9:45AM EST/2:45PM BST/3:45 PM CEST 2023.evolutionaryhealthconference.com

As solar zenith angle ⬆️, UVB radiation ⬇️, impacting vitamin D production. Factors like month, latitude, and time of day play a role! This will be one of the topics of my lecture at: 2023.evolutionaryhealthconference.com
