💡 The team is making rapid progress, and groundbreaking results are just around the corner—stay tuned for updates! Honored to be the #PI of this transformative program (4/5)

Large-scale proteomics is unlocking in a new era of biomarker discovery and therapeutic target identification. #Chronos offers a unique opportunity: high-temporal-resolution profiling of 100 millions longitudinal plasma samples across pre-clinical phases of any disease (1/5)

Excited to share our preprint about the spatiotemporal dynamics of mammalian #brain aging. With our new map generated at @wysscoray lab, we made a step towards understanding when and how the 🧠 ages! 1/9 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Preprint alert! A must read from Oliver Hahn who generated a spatiotemporal gene expression map of 15 brain regions! This study shows that the white matter tracts are an early hotspot of brain aging! Many other cool findings to discover here 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Data from NIH-funded studies will have to be shared. This won't be straightforward to implement but that's a huge step for open science 👇

Altogether, these findings demonstrate the existence of anti-inflammatory exercise factors that are transferrable, target the cerebrovasculature and benefit the brain. Great collaborative work started almost 10 years ago!

Last but not least, real world data from patients with cognitive impairment who participated in structured exercise for 6 months had higher plasma levels of CLU but also broadly implicate the complement and coagulation cascades in exercise

Thrilled to see this paper finally out in @nature. We all know about the overall beneficial effects of exercise, but little is known about the factors and mechanisms that mediate its effect on the brain nature.com/articles/s4158…

It's time to stop making t-SNE & UMAP plots. In a new preprint w/ Tara Chari we show that while they display some correlation with the underlying high-dimension data, they don't preserve local or global structure & are misleading. They're also arbitrary.🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@j_n_justice, @blehall and Irene Martinez de Toda will talk about "Involving new blood into #geroscience". Mark your agenda to learn more from these expert leaders at the 2nd @EGeroscience conference. Download our cutting-edge program 👇 bit.ly/3sPzAE7

@UCSFAging @andcyang @UCSF @wysscoray @Stanford Congrats @andcyang - @UCSFAging is lucky to have you!

Excited to welcome Andrew Yang @andcyang to @UCSFAging and @UCSF Anatomy Dept!! He is a new Sandler Fellow who comes to us from @wysscoray lab @stanford. Andrew develops tools to study intercellular communication, with a focus on the blood-brain barrier and #aging🩸🧠🚧

Our new @NatureAging paper is the direct evidence that we should closely look at the main contributors of aging clocks. In this study led by David Furman, CXCL9 was identified as having a key role in age-related chronic inflammation! nature.com/articles/s4358…

Proteomic aging clocks are very intriguing. Read our latest paper in #AgeingResearchReviews in which we show that the aging clock we previously described is a rich source of viable anti-aging drug targets...Still a lot to understand about aging clocks! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
