I want to share this research was inspired by me-search: everyday yoga practice that involves breathing and meditation and contemplation to know more biologically!
Excited to share new work from our lab showing, for the first time, a link between breathing dysregulation, stress responses, and energy metabolism via a neuropeptide receptor mechanism.
This opens new ways for understanding brain–body interactions! biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

We are delighted to share the latest findings from the lab in Nature! We report mutation-dependent effects of sleep and exercise on clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and its associated atherosclerosis.

Sleep may synchronize the brain and body in ways that protect against dementia.
During sleep, norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine oscillate together in ~50-second rhythms that help drive cerebrospinal fluid flow and glymphatic clearance of amyloid-β and tau. #SleepScience #Neuroscience #Dementia

Muscle talks to the brain. 💪🧠
Exercise triggers myokines & myometabolites that boost cognition, while inactivity sends harmful signals that impair brain function. This muscle–brain crosstalk shapes behavior and resilience to aging and neurodegeneration. @WuTsaiAlliance

Today in @Nature, we report MouseMapper: foundation-model AI to map disease perturbations across the entire mouse body cell-by-cell.
In obesity, it revealed body-wide inflammation & unexpected facial nerve damage. 🧵👇🔉
