In this study, we uncover the senolytic mechanism of conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), specifically α eleostearic acid (α-ESA), demonstrating that these compounds eliminate senescent cells by inducing ferroptosis, rather than classical programmed cell death pathways.
Really grateful for the chance to share my journey across Europe and the U.S.
looking forward to it!

“NIH researchers found that exercise triggers mitochondrial DNA release in muscle, activating immune pathways that boost fat-burning fibers and fight obesity—but this same response may worsen fatigue in long COVID and #ME/CFS through immune overactivation.” www.cell.com/trends/endoc...
Mindblowing!!!
Are you interested in joning our lab to work on #CellSenescence? You could apply for a MSCA fellowship, the call is open: ec.europa.eu/info/funding...
Get in touch!
🪰 The next step is to carry out a more extensive search in the drosophila fly genome.
In the long-term, this knowledge could be used to increase the success rate of assisted reproduction treatments and to develop drugs to tackle aneuploidy, which is a characteristic of many tumours.
Loved the mix of science, good conversations, and familiar faces. Already looking forward to the next one!

It was really special to meet Federico Pieatrocola again, the one who first got me interested in senescence. Super grateful for that early spark. And big thanks to Francesca Castoldi for being such a great teacher when it came to lab techniques!
Had the pleasure of presenting my PhD research at the yICSA Symposium at the Karolinska Institute! It was a great experience to share my work on cellular senescence and connect with so many scientists.
