Looking forward to participating in the #Skin #Aging session and to bring #telomeres 🧬 and #telomerase in #zebrafish 🐟 to the 55Th ESDR meeting!
Thank you for the invitation!
Go Fish! 🐟

Human 'tissue clocks' (@NatureMedicine) across 40 tissues: the strongest link between natural #telomere decline and biological #aging is in gastrointestinal epithelia.
In #zebrafish, we showed the #gut doesn't just correlate, it actually drives systemic #aging.

New from M Blasco. In telomerase-null mice, STING loss doesn't rescue short-telomere aging: p53–p21 runs STING-independently. A genuine contrast with our zebrafish work. Same lesion, different sensor logic. Species differences in innate immunity are where this gets interesting.🧬

www.nature.com The age of animal experiments is waning. Where will science go next? Nature - Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there are still huge hurdles to overcome.
