Excited to publish in @LSAjournal! We and the @PlacentaLab show that inflammatory preeclampsia exhibits reduced NAD+ levels and mitochondrial dysfunction in the placenta. Our work suggests that NAD+ boosters during pregnancy may counter these effects.

We are also very proud of our then PhD student Fahmida Jahan @fjaha037 who led the project and has since moved on to the very well respected lab of @GoodyearLaurie at the Joslin Diabetes Center at Harvard.

Shout to Drs. @NicoCollaoA, @mike_delisio, and collaborators including Drs. Keir Menzies (@Menzies_Lab) and @yan_burelle on their recent publication! 🙌 🎉 @uOttawaHealthSc
Find it #OpenAccess in @JCSM_cachexia! 👇
Excited to share another paper out of my PhD. Our study suggests that Fibro-adipogenic progenitors contribute to long-term skeletal muscle atrophy and fibrosis following juvenile radiation exposure. @mike_delisio @MYOTWlTTER @musclecellnews

New publication from the lab describing the role of FAPs in radiation-induced fibrosis. Paper represents several years of hard work led by @NicoCollaoA. Thanks to all collaborators @Menzies_Lab, @yan_burelle and funders. doi.org/10.1002/jcsm.13320

Our work on #healthspan and graceful #aging is featured in @EPFL_en's Dimensions! This huge mouse study would not have been possible without the effort of the entire @Auwerx_Lab team, who relentlessly collected 120'000 tissues in 5-years!

Congratulations Brayden Perras, Branden Lynch, @A_NikAkhtar and @DheerajPandey_ for presenting your data at the @CSMB2023 conference on Metabolic Regulation of Cell Signalling!
Also, shout-out to @AlexEGreen, our postdoc, for your dedication to training each of these students!

Reducing mitochondrial ribosomal gene expression does not alter metabolic health or lifespan in mice

Super proud of lead authors @EileenD26 and Kim Reid for this massive collab with @Menzies_Lab! We started from our 2013 observation that lower mitochondrial ribosomal protein expression extended lifespan in worms, so asked the question: is the same true in mice? ⬇️
The most gratifying work is from seamless collaborations. Thank you to @rhhoutkooper for initiating a project that gave our PhD students Kim Reid and @EileenD26 the opportunity to travel back-and-forth between the Netherlands and Canada.@OISB_IBSO nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

Congratulations to @kwadjonyarko_ who was accepted into the following medical schools: uOttawa, McMaster, UBC and UofT🤩! He has also proven to be a passionate researcher in our lab examining novel post-translational modifications affecting muscle stem cell health. @OISB_IBSO

Fascinating new preprint on bioRxiv tackles a whale of a question:
Whales are huge. So why don’t they get a ton of cancers?

Our recent study together with Fabio Penna’s lab demonstrated that vitamin B3, niacin, prevents cancer cachexia in mice. More info in the media release.
Is vitamin B3 a treatment option for human cancer cachexia? A form of vitamin B3, niacin, was found to prevent cancer-related weight loss and muscle wasting, i.e., cancer cachexia, and the underlying mitochondrial alterations in mouse experiments. helsinki.fi/en/news/cancer/v…
