Transposons, DNA methylation again!! 🐶 Why do large dogs have shorter lifespans? shorturl.at/4eNGz @ScienceMagazine study suggests epigenetic aging and transposon dysregulation may help explain lifespan compression in larger dogs. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

光合成する緑藻クラミドモナスは、眼点で光を感じて鞭毛を動かし、光に向かって(もしくは光を避けて)泳ぐ。その光受容体がチャネルロドプシン。医学から最も遠そうな単細胞植物の驚くべき仕組み。多種多様な生物の生存メカニズムを研究する意義がまさにここにある。Plants rock🪴! (So excited to see "botanists" winning the Nobel Prize of Physiology or Medicine) xitter.cf/NobelPrize/status/2107…

We waited 1.5 years to write the grant, get the money, buy the confocal, and get it! This week, we have installed the confocal in the lab. Thanks to @3i_inc and their amazing team, including Sam, Andrew, Daniel, and Leo to make it happen. We are grateful to CFI and UBC for the funding.
