Excited about our new manuscript @elife.bsky.social: Engulfment by brain macrophages in a short-lived vertebrate doi.org/10.7554/eLif...! Huge congratulations to Rahul Nagvekar and the team!! ✨⭐🍾🐟 We generated a genetic model to identify engulfing macrophages in the #killifish aging brain!

Our new paper on lipids in neural stem cell aging!! Congratulations to Xiaoai Zhao for her fantastic work! ✨🥂 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Lipidomic profiling reveals age-dependent changes in plasma membrane lipids that affect neural stem cell aging

Plasma membrane lipids are remodeled with age in neural stem cells, and rejuvenating membrane lipids boosts old cell function.

The Oliver Lab is #hiring. I have never been more excited about the next project & the potential to help people with cancer. If you want to transform #SCLC & how we think about #cancer in general, please come join us! #postdoc #PhD Thanks to ChatGPT for a high octane ad with more info below!

It's #moleratmonday, where we provide the naked mole rat facts you've been dying to know! 🐀 They use their long teeth to help them dig tunnels 🦷 it looks like they have two, but it's actually four! And they can move each one independently! (Image: Smithsonian's National Zoo (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0))

Incredible first day at the SCLC consortium, amazing progress in the last 10 years!!

Hello Monday! #moleratmonday is here 🐀 Naked mole rats can run backwards as fast as they can run forward 🏃 This no doubt helps them navigate the tight tunnel systems they live in! ⛏️

It's #moleratmonday, where you get to learn about naked mole rats🐀 Today's fact: Naked mole rat's are known to be resistant (but not immune!) to cancer development. Of course, we all want to know how! To learn more, why not check out our 2020 review? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cancer cell plasticity is viewed as a driver of therapy resistance. Here, we propose the concept of “Field-Oriented” Therapy—leveraging plasticity rather than merely enduring it. To learn more, read: aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscov...

Young-Min Kim, in the lab of Livnat Jerby, in collaboration with Fabrizia Urbinati in the IMA has engineered immune cells to act as cellular ‘bloodhounds’, tracking the metabolic byproducts of cancer cells to better infiltrate and destroy solid tumors:

Immune cell ‘bloodhounds’ track cancer cells’ unique metabolic signatures, eliminate tumors in mice

Immune cells engineered to sense metabolic byproducts secreted by cancer cells ‘follow their noses’ to migrate to and infiltrate solid tumors in mice in a Stanford Medicine study.

I have so many words about this. And I think its effects could be bigger than they seem on the surface.

Yep. See grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... Not a huge deal but definitely a slap in the face.
