Ok folks, pay attention. Percent lifespan extension means nothing when the controls are short-lived. The next time someone Tweets about how “X increases lifespan in mice by Y percent!!!”, first thing you should do is look at the absolute lifespan of the controls /1

✨Looking forward to the 2nd Geroscience Los Angeles Meeting tomorrow! ✨ Lots of cool #geroscience to look forward to: >65 posters, 16 plenary talks, and 12 flash talks, all by trainees, and a keynote address by Dr Helen Goodridge from Cedars-Sinai. #GLAM2024

Find our Science and Dealflow co-Lead jenna today at #GLAM ✨ A special shoutout to Bérénice A. Benayoun, PhD for being one of the organizers of this wonderful meeting. Bringing together all #geroscience researchers across Los Angeles! 🧬 🪩🤍

We had a great event today at #GLAM2024! Our LA and SoCal trainees were on 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks to all the trainees sharing their science, USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology for hosting, sponsors who made this possible, and the whole support team for making this a reality ❤️ See you all at #GLAM2025 ✨

Very impressive talks and posters by trainees today at #GLAM2024. All about geroscience and aging. Fantastic organization from ⁦Bérénice A. Benayoun, PhD⁩ and ⁦Ryo Higuchi-Sanabria⁩ . Beautiful venue, plenary, and post-meeting event. Mark your calendar for next year, 09.05.2025!

Frederique Ruf Zamojski Frederique-NYC.bsky.social Bérénice A. Benayoun, PhD Thank you for coming and helping make the event amazing! Let’s keep growing the GLAMazing community!

Thank you for another amazing GLAM ✨ can’t wait for #GLAM2025 (09.05.2025). USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology Bérénice A. Benayoun, PhD Ryo Higuchi-Sanabria

For nearly 2 decades, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) “genome-wide” association studies only covered the autosomes. Today we unveil the X chromosome and prioritize SLC9A7, a.k.a. NHE7, as an AD risk gene. Article: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… Editorial: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Very excited to share the #Benayoun lab’s latest preprint, where we leverage #1000Genomes project data to identify candidate regulatory loci of #LINE1 and #Alu copy numbers in diverse human populations! 1/8 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

TE derepression is a known feature of #aging and aging diseases, but the factors regulating #TE copy number variation in healthy, diverse human populations are largely unknown. We set out to answer that question using samples with thoroughly characterized genetic variation. 2/8

🎉🎉🎉Proud to share Juan Bravo, PhD latest work, preprinted today in bioRxiv! Read below for Dr. Juan Bravo’s twittorial about his new work, using a multi-ethnic GWAS approach to identify putative #TEs regulators! USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology

Impressive talks and posters at#GLAM2024- the SoCal Geroscience community which keeps getting bigger! Great keynote talk from Dr Helen Goodridge Regenerative Medicine Institute at Cedars-Sinai, Thank you Bérénice A. Benayoun, PhD Ryo Higuchi-Sanabria for hosting us and organizing. Love the kimono show!

As a teacher, let me help you out with these faces: 1. That's right fool, dig that hole 2. Seriously? 3. WTF? 4. There's ridiculous & then there's whatever nonsense that is 5. No, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you? 6. Say what? 7. Damn, you are stupid 8. I will end you

Excited to share our new work: genetic risk analysis on Chromosome X for Alzheimer’s disease. Implications for risk in men versus women: Chromosome X-wide association study in case-control of pathologically confirmed Alzheimer’s in European population 1/ doi.org/10.1038/s41398…

"...and one of the major comments I wrote was that they should validate the sequencing results with qPCR!!!"

Our newest publication is out! We demonstrate that activation of the muscle to brain axis promotes synaptic remodeling in the CNS, and improves neurocognitive behavior in the 5xFAD model of AB plaques link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Hot off the press! Learn how we used growth on stiff substrates to mirror impacts of mechanical stress on aging in an in vivo model system: journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…. So proud of my undergraduate student Maria Oorloff who led this work with the help of graduate student Adam Hruby!
