Very cool! I agree AI scientific review can be useful if it is transparent. It is all progressing very fast and will change everything. @qedScience @bioRxiv is a great first step. We are doing some human-based eval, so more soon from @EMBOPress @ReviewCommons with @qedScience. Watch this space ;-)
Excited to launch an openRxiv partnership with the scientist-run AI review service qed (@qedscience.bsky.social), the brainchild of @odedrechavi.bsky.social 1/n

The Chameau gene helps flies survive starvation at lower temps, but a mere 2{degree sign}C rise makes it obsolete! This temperature-dependent role in metabolism and resilience has big implications for climate change biology.

Chameau (HBO1) gene function in starvation resistance is bypassed by slightly elevated temperatures in Drosophila, suggesting a temperature-dependent metabolic role.

How can gut microbes modulate host lifespan?
@jogender-singh.bsky.social & coworkers show that in C. elegans, lifespan extension arises from microbial perturbation of iron homeostasis and oxidative stress response activation
