Interesting take!
What if the path to slowing aging wasn’t a drug, but replacing worn out parts?
Our new paper out today in @NatureAging shows how this could one day work. We map a unified framework—from scaffolds & bioprinted tissues to pacemakers, xenotransplants & brain machine interfaces—for extending healthy lifespan through replacement-based approaches. Read the thread to learn more about what replacement means for the aging field! nature.com/articles/s4358… 🧵👇(1/10)View quoted post on X
This is a nice summary of a recent paper that deepens our understanding of the nucleolus's role in yeast aging. Next, we need to figure out how much of it translates to humans.

Cologne's aging research cluster received an early Christmas present today by hosting @prof_horvath, who delivered an inspiring overview of various clocks and intervention-dependent effects.
