Researchers engineered an enzyme to reverse CML, an advanced glycation end product considered an irreversible marker of aging.
In this video, I breakdown the findings and give my thoughts!

AI can now design antibodies to hit a target you pick — no animals, no massive screens.
I spoke with @santimillef to unpack Germinal, the open-source pipeline behind it.
We discuss how it works, the bottlenecks and what's next :

Are we targeting aging the wrong way?
In this interview with Peter Fedichev (@fedichev), CEO of Gero, we discuss why many longevity interventions may only be tackling “level 1” aging.

🎉 Congrats to #AGE2026 Early Career Scholar Awardee Eleanor Sheekey (@BDR_RIKEN)!
Recognized by the #AmericanAgingAssociation, her research studies how the extracellular matrix shapes cellular rejuvenation — uncovering how tissue environments influence aging and regeneration.

It turns out with a bit of physics, you don't need 300 theories to explain aging—just 3 variables.
In this video I show how this model can be used to categorise longevity interventions into 3 distinct levels based on their potential to extend lifespan.

This week I spoke with Dr Luis Garza about his lab's interest in skin rejuvenation and a recent clinical trial they conducted ectopically placing feet fibroblasts into the thigh to increase skin thickness...
Enjoy!! youtube.com/watch?v=5iEXYrnZ…

Did you know this about tissue rejuvenation...??
This week I spoke with Jason Mills (@millsjc67 ) about his lab's research on Paligenosis, the process of a differentiated cell re-entering the cell cycle!!

The @SheekeyScience Show turns 5!! 🥳
It has been a crazy (& fun) past year - I hope to update you all soon with my next career movements!

Had a great few days at @YicsaC 2024 - Oxford edition!! Was shocked I enjoyed the other city soo much (😄) but of course was not shocked by the quality of talks/posters and kindness of all attendees!

Want to learn about how @ResearchHub is funding #preregistered research projects?
Check out @Delyea_Cole discussing his experience getting funded with $RSC to explore how different types of music affect plant growth on the @SheekeyScience show
youtu.be/7wQbuIY4TWc?si=1rF-…
Imagine getting research funding within 2 hours...🤔
Well, that became a reality for @Delyea_Cole who used @ResearchHub to fund his ongoing plant-music experiment. 💰--> 🌱

Have you heard the news?
I made a short explainer video here: (youtu.be/tPgaShzwIvc ) @xprize
(1/2) What would you do if you could live both longer…and healthier? #XPRIZEHealthspan is a 7-year, $101 million global competition to revolutionize the way we approach human aging. Learn more here. xprize.org/prizes/healthspan

@EleanorSheekey nails it again with a succinct CRISPR-cancer short! Love the blend of smart script and fun visuals. Kudos to the mini-shoutout of @rcm181's multiplex editing for solid tumor CAR-T pre-print! 👏

Figure 5.3: Thesis submission day with my PhD partner in crime.
@DanisThomas4 and I both handed in yesterday afternoon! We try to look serious here, but the past four years have been much fun! I remain in the @narita_lab until December while I work out what I do next!
