A moment to be proud of 😊 #NRC #AmsterdamUMC

More than 100 participants, it’s happening NOW! #DuSRA2025

Check out our newly published paper at IScience! We showed that knocking down a fat-processing enzyme gene, plag-15, can switch on lysosome programs and extend lifespan in worms! cell.com/iscience/ful... #Healthyaging #lysosome #Celegans

Targeting phospholipase PLAG-15 promotes healthy aging in C. elegans via lysosomal-related genes

Congrats to the Terytty, @arwengao.bsky.social and colleagues for identifying the importance of Lysosomal Surveillance Response (LysR) in fighting age-related protein accumulation. news.epfl.ch/news/a-recyc... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A recycling mechanism that helps cells fight aging

An international team led by EPFL has discovered a powerful anti-aging pathway in roundworms, revealing how boosting the cell’s lysosomes can help clear waste and promote healthy aging. The findings o...
