Atavistic Genetic Expression Dissociation (AGED) During Aging: Meta‐Phylostratigraphic Evidence of Cellular and Tissue‐Level Phylogenetic Dissociation
Aging represents an atavistic over-representation of differential expression in the most ancient genes and under-representation in the evolutionary youngest genes for two multi-tissue aging databases...

I wish I had all the answers. The truth is we all hold pieces of the puzzle in our hands. Do what you can, where you are, with what you have. Life can be painful, but try not to pass the pain along. Lets lift each other up. We can make the world a little better - one person at a time. #goodvibes

One of my male friends sent me this clip this morning. www.youtube.com/shorts/Wjw0z...
My response was that you need to find women willing to wear targets on their backs. Good luck with that.

My daughter has been trying to reach her dad (my ex) for three days now. He 'got a new family' a few years back. So we're pretty confident he isn't dead in a ditch somewhere. She said, "You know how dad is. Out of sight out of mind." Don't be that guy. Be there for your kids no matter what. 💔

One proposed strategy to promote a youthful immune system and human healthspan is to rejuvenate our thymus gland. Can we learn from this exceptional (and peculiar looking) vertebrate that can do this?

I got to witness a young wild rabbit trying to figure out snow this evening. It did a few donuts in the neighbor's yard before it picked a direction to run. It was like watching something from a loony tunes cartoon. 😄

The loss of unique self is concerning to me. We aren't perceiving the world in the same way. I became aware of this as a child. My father could play nearly anything by ear and my mother was completely tone deaf. My son struggles with color-blindness. Yet, there is something to be gained. #qualia

Now online! Membrane potential mediates the cellular response to mechanical pressure
Membrane potential mediates the cellular response to mechanical pressure
Cells in tissues need to know when to start growing and when to stop growing to quickly heal wounds but prevent tumorous overgrowth. Membrane potential allows cells to sense physical forces, including those from neighboring cells, and thereby regulates growth.

Cancer-promoting DNA circles hitchhike on chromosomes to spread to daughter cells
Blocking the circles, known as ecDNA, could lead to new classes of cancer therapies, Stanford Medicine researchers and their colleagues believe.
