Discovery in Nature may change future approaches to early detection of breast cancers. Study finds healthy breast tissue can contain normal cells with genetic changes found in invasive #breastcancer, highlighting the challenges and risks of false positives in screening. https://lnkd.in/gNE5wbi8

Males and females have profoundly different #sleep patterns. New study Scientific Reports shows females sleep less, wake up more often and get less restorative sleep than males. Females are still underrepresented in preclinical sleep research. Too bad. https://lnkd.in/grUVCqGs

Wow. There’s a leap in understanding the human body. Researchers with the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium have published a collection of more than 40 papers in @Nature, mapping adult tissues and organs, developing tissues and new #AI techniques. https://lnkd.in/eCNeb7-Y

Enjoying our annual Thanksgiving feast and giving thanks for working at the place on the forefront of changing the way we age. Thank you to our incredible facilities and operations teams for cooking and hosting such a treasured event at Buck 🦃 #Livebetterlonger #lovewhereyouwork

Our own John Newman participated in recent panel discussion at Gerontological Society of America (GSA) (#GSA2024) Exciting research shows that newer antidiabetic drugs (GLP1 receptor agonistics) may be gerotherapeutic, modulating multiple hallmarks of aging. Clinical trials are underway.

The mystery of the dietary yo-yo effect may be solved. Study Nature shows that fat cells possess an epigenetic memory of #obesity that can remain stable for decades. Work in mice and humans shows fat cells return to the obese state more easily, despite weight loss. https://lnkd.in/gKga33jV
