Companys/es investigadors/es: Algú té o coneix algun grup de BCN que ens pugui deixar anticòs de caspasa-1? Anem curts de recursos (ja sabeu com va això de la investigació en aquest país) i abans de fer cap inversió ens agradaria fer una petita prova 🙏 Twitter fes la teva màgia

Our latest #preprint The mutants that we study here cause #hypertrophic #cardiomyopathy by mechanisms that are not known. We propose that defective #nanomechanics may contribute to pathogenicity

For the first time, a cosmonaut has built engineered cartilage in microgravity onboard the International Space Station, using an approach that may also pave the way for advances in space regenerative medicine & for deep space exploration. fcld.ly/tj1ood8 @ScienceAdvances

Biologic & disease processes need to be viewed from an age perspective. How does your favorite gene change with age? check out Tabula Muris Senis and this App combining sc and bulkRNAseq across 10 ages twc-stanford.shinyapps.io/ma… in rdcu.be/b5DqF and rdcu.be/b5DqD

A mayor estrés, más canas. Un reciente estudio ha desvelado por fin el mecanismo que lo provoca: el sistema simpático activado libera noradrenalina en los folículos pilosos, provocando la conversión de "células madre" pigmentarias en melanocitos. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Desde la crisis de 2009, la mayoría de los países han incrementado su inversión en I D. En España se ha reducido. bit.ly/2BF0at1 #SinCienciaNoHayFuturo

Interesting that “cells derived from long-lived species have a higher propensity to undergo senescence when challenged with DNA damage than cells derived from short-lived species”. #longevity #aging

Interesting work comparing the transcriptome of long‐lived mammals (whales, humans, naked mole‐rats, Brandt's bat) with short‐lived species (cows and mice). @AgingCell #aging #research
