Another moment of pride! 🎉 Emily Tom’s PhD work is finally published! Her work reveals a fascinating consequence of aging: plasma membrane damage increases, and lysosomes step in to repair the membrane and keep cells alive. Let us know what you think, and repost it! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Lipid-driven membrane remodeling engages a lysosome-dependent adaptive repair program during retinal aging - Molecular Neurodegeneration
Age-associated remodeling of membrane lipid composition has been implicated in cellular dysfunction, yet the mechanisms linking lipid changes to membrane integrity and disease remain poorly defined. I...

I did ask @nobelprize.org to join the friendly neighborhood of @bsky.app, and I'm glad they have. But perhaps I should have had a haircut and trimmed my beard for this segment.

I’m very proud to share this work, now submitted for review. The first two authors were still in high school when they joined the lab for summer! Each summer they kept building on the project until the completion. It is a small story but we enjoyed working on it! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I 3D printed these organizers for HRT supplies for @romancingthevote.com . There are two versions, testosterone and estradiol. The molecule is on both sides. They work for diabetes supples, too. I wanted to do something chemical, and it was fun figuring out which molecules people might relate to.

American science is shrinking. 
A Post analysis found that, halfway through this fiscal year, the number of competitive grants awarded by the National Institutes of Health is down by more than half compared with the same period last year. wapo.st/3OgoHKV
washingtonpost.com
For U.S. medical researchers, shrinking labs and bare budgets are the new reality
The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Finally out! We studied the retinas of the longest-living vertebrate, the Greenland shark, and found that the retinas remain remarkably healthy in animals around 150 years old. What is the mechanism? It may be a highly efficient DNA repair system. Enjoy! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
