Interesting work by Weissman group at Stanford in nature showing that #aging biases hematopoeitic stem cells to myeloid lineages and depleting these HSC leads to 'youthful' immune system. Immediate applications to #cardiovascular and #metabolism diseases.

We say “kudos” to a recent financial analysis published in Nature Aging, showing slowing aging process can offer much larger economic gains than chipping away at individual diseases. Our President & CEO Eric Verdin weighs in on extremely large numbers: buckinstitute.org/blog/targeting…

Very excited and proud about this Buck Institute originated startup

Too good to be true? Study in Nature Metabolism finds that natural molecule found in coffee (trigonelline) boosts levels of #NAD + and improves muscle function during #aging , providing target for #sarcopenia . Study was done in mice and worms. nature.com/articles/s4225…

Another interesting finding for #metformin . Study in Nature Metabolism shows the diabetes drug, a big deal in research on aging, increases the amount of the naturally occurring appetite suppressing factor Lac-Phe. New target for anti-obesity treatments? nature.com/articles/s4225…

Magdalena Skipper Well, Nature at least was one of the most prestigious publications in the Sciences. Sounds like you don't know how to read a bell curve? Maybe take a look at Nobel Prizes...

You don't get to publish in a prestigious journal just because you're female, and if that were the case…
