Congrats, very cool and exciting research!

The 18S rRNA methyltransferase DIMT-1 regulates lifespan in the germline later in life - PubMed Specialized ribosomes help determine which proteins are synthesized, however, the influence of age on ribosome heterogeneity and whether dysregulation of this process drives organismal aging is unknow...

Excited to see our manuscript out @natcomms.nature.com pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40721431/. We identified that the 18S rRNA methylase DIMT-1 regulates lifespan by functioning in the germline after midlife. 1/8

Congratulations, Anne, on this well-deserved honor! It is a pleasure to work with you at the Center for Pathobiochemistry and Genetics and to do science together.

After the fantastic #RiboMod2025 workshop on #snoRNAs and #rRNA_modifications in beautiful Bologna, I am now on my way to Pörtschach to speak at the #APOkongress on #aging biomarkers.

I am currently in Groningen for a COST Action
@senescence2030.bsky.social networking meeting. It's always great to talk about science, especially cellular senescence, and make new friends. Thank you @marcdema.bsky.social for hosting us!

🚨 Calling senescence researchers!
Applications are open for the #ICSARome2025
@icsasenescence.bsky.social & @yicsac.bsky.social
Travel Fellowships 🌍✈️
Need-based & merit-based awards available!
🗓️ Deadline: May 15

YouTube video by TEDx Talks Langlebigkeit entschlüsselt: Fakten und Mythen | Markus Schosserer | TEDxSalzburg

The video from my talk (in German) at TEDx Salzburg is online now. I am giving a brief overview of several promising science-based anti-aging interventions and debunk some myths.

During my PhD, I met so many colleagues who only read papers for journal clubs or when their PI demanded it.

Reading the literature is a must for PhDs. It keeps you sharp, sparks ideas, builds critical thinking, and once it’s a habit, it’s even fun.

Young scientists: READ!

Damage to RNA, not DNA, found to be main cause of acute sunburn We have all been told to avoid direct sunlight between 12 noon and 3 p.m., seek out shade and put on sunscreen and a hat. Nevertheless, most of us have experienced sunburn at least once. The skin turn...

"first thing the cells respond to after being exposed to UV radiation is damage to the RNA, and that this is what triggers cell death and inflammation of the skin" via the ZAK gene.

Vielen herzlichen Dank für den fantastischen TEDxSalzburg Event am Samstag! Ich habe beeindruckende Speaker:innen und Musiker:innen getroffen, viele anregende Gespräche mit den Zuhörer:innen und Volunteers geführt und sehr viel neues gelernt. Ich bin schon auf die YouTube Videos der Talks gespannt.

Happy to share the website of RiboMod2025, the "Conference on Ribosomal RNA modifications and snoRNAs" in Bologna June 12-13, 2025 is up at events.unibo.it/ribomod2025

What if we could look at a human tissue image🔬and quantify its biological age?🧬 And how could we get the same insights without collecting the tissue sample? In our new @biorxivpreprint, we create "tissue clocks" ⏳to do just that! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 📝 #aging #tissue thread below⬇️
