Erdinc Sezgin @Sciezgin was not in the aging field when he came to us with an idea: test whether membrane fluidity, stiffness, viscosity and molecular organization could be measured together to build a biophysical clock of aging and resilience.
We funded him to pursue it via @impetusgrants. He has since produced three papers building what he needs to answer that question, including better probes for labelling cell membranes, software that turns images into biophysical measurements, and evidence that membrane properties distinguish cell states.
The longevity field is richer with people like Erdinc joining from other fields and bringing new expertise with them.

Last night, I gave a speech for the University of Washington's "Neuroscience, AI and Society" lecture series, through the university's Computational Neuroscience Center.

In the center is the poop emoji from the cover of the US edition of 'Enshittification,' with angry eyebrows and a black, grawlix-scrawled bar over its mouth. The poop emoji's eyes have also been replaced with the HAL eye.

First paper from the lab is now online @NatureNeuro !
We mapped injury induced enhancers in the mouse CNS and decoded their sequence architecture. Little 🧵 @karolinskainst nature.com/articles/s41593-0…
Thrilled to share our new publication in @NatureNeuro on the regulatory code of injury responsive enhancers in the CNS!
Out of @Ellorebo lab at the @karolinskainst!

We're now really excited about having easy genetic access to these and other cell states and even more to further exploit the precision with which we can now program gene expression in them! We're hiring at multiple levels (postdocs,...) so reach out if this sounds interesting!
This was spearheaded by @MargheritaZamb2 with contributions from Adrian Martinez, Gabriel Rydholm, @TimmHaneke , Laura Pintado, @denizsecilmis and @chris_zie . Huge thanks to our funders @strategiskaSSF @Vetenskapsradet @ERC_Research among others!

A single E. coli weighs about one picogram, or 60 million times less than a grain of sand.
How do we know that?
For my latest @AsimovPress essay, I explain how scientists weigh cells. In one case, in the 1950s, they did it using little more than sugar water and a microscope.
