Thank you very much, Rahel! ❤️

My new lab at the MPI Age is looking for a postdoc in skeletal muscle cell and molecular biology! If you’re a curious and motivated scientist and would like to apply, check the details below:

Metabolic Crossroads: AMDHD2 Couples the Hexosamine Biosynthetic Pathway to Acetyl-CoA Homeostasis in Pluripotent Stem Cells Pluripotent stem cells (SCs) rely on metabolic rewiring to regulate self-renewal and differentiation. The hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) integrates multiple metabolic inputs to produce uridine ...

🎉 We’re excited to share our very first preprint!! 🎉

📢 Our August issue is online!

🎨 The cover highlights a Feature Review from Stephanie Rosswag de Souza, @gzaffagnini.bsky.social, and @bokelab.bsky.social on how proteostasis functions in cellular dormancy across a number of examples, from yeast to adult quiescent stem cells and vertebrate oocytes.

Thank you so much, Pablo!

Thrilled to share that I’ve been selected for the Minerva Fast Track program to launch my research group at @mpiage.bsky.social as part of the @antebilab.bsky.social department! Huge thanks to @maxplanck.de, my mentors Dr. Demetriades & @antebilab.bsky.social, and all who supported me!

That’s great Brazilian science! Check it out!

Resilience and restoration from fasting-refeeding mediated by a nutrient-regulated linker histone Intermittent fasting and fasting-refeeding regimens can slow biological aging across taxa[1][1]. Shifts between fed and fasted states activate ancient nutrient-sensing pathways which alter cellular an...
