Trillions of these little communicators are having minute-to-minute conversations with your body. My PhD looked at host (you)-microbial (bacteria/microbiome) interactions. Shape the conversations for health. Thank you @EricTopol for shining the light.

Yes! Thank you @EricTopol for highlighting this concept. The @kat_howe lab and @FishLab_UHN have been working on loss of endothelial identity in atherosclerosis - a key disease of aging. See howeandfishlabs.com for links: nature communications and genome medicine papers

If we're ever going to slow aging, we need to maintain the identity of our cells. Most people in this poll were unfamiliar with the loss of cell identity model of aging.
You can learn about it in Ground Truths (link in my profile)
