Our new study supports that aging begins in the early stages of embryo development, and not only in adulthood @canalugr canal.ugr.es/noticia/a-ne...
When and how do we start aging? Our recent work, led by Amador Gallardo, suggests that aberrant expression of ancient viral remnants in our genome—already during embryonic development—may induce aging in adults. 😮https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-63778-4.pdf
🔴 ¡Acaba de publicarse en Nature Communications (@natcomms.nature.com)! 🎉 Feliz de haber contribuido a este increíble trabajo del grupo de David Landeira (@davidlandeira.bsky.social), con Amador Gallardo como primer autor. (1/2)
Ahi va la nota redactada por nuestro equipo de divulgación sobre nuestro ultimo trabajo! canal.ugr.es/noticia/enve...
“From a different angle, our study also supports that BMAL1 regulates the transition from the totipotent to the pluripotent state during early development, by facilitating MERVL transposon repression and the downstream 3D organization and function of the genome.”
Building on a previous report from the Fitzgerald lab showing that loss of Bmal1 during embryogenesis accelerates aging in adulthood, our findings support the idea that preserving the epigenome during embryogenesis is crucial to slow the pace of aging later in life.
