Different ways to die: harnessing variation in Drosophila reveals loss of tolerance and resistance over age and sex-specific association between infection susceptibility and lifespan It is widely accepted that susceptibility to infection increases with age. The reason often invoked is the dysregulation of the immune system, which is both cause and consequence of ageing. However, w...

New preprint - varied routes to ⬆️ infection susceptibility over age - via bona fide immunosenescence, but also often via reduced tolerance πŸͺ°πŸ•°οΈπŸ¦ β˜ οΈ

⬆️ risk to die from infection predicts lifespan in males. Great group effort from the lab!

Study reveals the hidden benefits of weight loss on fat tissue Scientists from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have produced the first detailed characterisation of the changes that weight loss causes in human fat tissue by...

A new study, published today in Nature, reveals the hidden benefits of weight loss on fat tissue.

A better understanding of how weight loss leads to health improvements at a molecular level could help inform the development of therapies for diseases such as type 2 diabetes in the future.
