In aging research we get so caught up in memory that we forget that it's important to forget, too! Cool article in @NYTimes about M.C.H. neurons in the #hypothalamus, #sleep, and #forgetting nytimes.com/2019/09/19/scien…

"Lifespan is entertaining and fast-paced — a whirlwind tour of the recent past and a near future that will see 90 become the new 70... Sinclair and LaPlante weave a masterful narrative of how we arrived at this crucial inflection point."

Were you looking for another reason to breathe clean air? Directly oxidizing #telomeres shows that environmental stressors can directly shorten these protective tips on chromosomes. Also, how cool is #chemooptoenetics ?? #livebetterlonger eurekalert.org/pub_releases/…

Researchers at UC San Francisco have taken science a step closer to creating stem cells that are effectively “invisible” to the immune system. This may ultimately lead to the production of “off-the-shelf” stem cell therapies that do not need to be... leafscience.org/a-step-close…
