Wish to know about the fascinating cavefish and how scientists are uncovering the secrets behind their resistance to metabolic disorders? Here is a layman-friendly article featuring insights from @NicolasRohner, Misty Riddle and me.
Mexican tetras living on the surface (left) look dramatically different from populations that were washed into caves generations ago (right) – and not just on the outside. Featuring @NicolasRohner and @Jaya__Krishnan.

Patient-Specific In Vivo Gene Editing to Treat a Rare Genetic Disease | New England Journal of Medicine https://t.co/hx8lQX3MA6 It is amazing to see how CRISPR has been used in an infant to correct a genetic disease due to a base mutation. Basic research is so essential!

Base editors can correct disease-causing genetic variants. After a neonate had received a diagnosis of severe carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency, a disease with an estimated 50% mortality ...

This is a beautiful piece of work. Congratulations.
Specific tRNAs add their respective amino acids to a growing protein in cell. There are 20 different enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthases for adding the right amino acid to its tRNA. These enzymes also have an editing domain, to correct mistakes in choosing the amino acid. 1/n

Sustained induction of autophagy enhances survival during prolonged starvation in newt cells
https://t.co/K0ipZQiq31 Salamanders display remarkable starvation resistance. The Authors show that newt cells maintain constitutive activation of autophagy during prolonged starvation. This may underlie the high starvation resistance of newts and may contribute to the

Congratulations Hina.
The best year-end gift from @AHAScience 🙂 This wouldn't be possible without the unwavering support of my mentor @ChiFungLeePhD! Thanks to @Ken_Humphries for being co-mentor on this and to Dr Courtney Griffin @OMRF & @AnnChiaoPhD for rec letters. It truly takes a village!

Our cavefish have arrived @OMRF. Come join us if you are interested in understanding how they remain 'fat but healthy'. We have an opening for a staff scientist /postdoc.

My meager education in biology and evolution gave me the mistaken impression that evolution optimized everything. But it didn't. One example is the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). It goes from behind your ear, loops down below your aorta, and then back up to the voice-box 1/2

So cool.. Cavefish - available now as an asteroid!
My friend, asteroid hunter & fellow @TEDFellow Carrie Nugent, @listen2spacepod worked with me to get an asteroid named "Cavefish" To bring awareness to the roughly 250 species of fishes adapted to subterranean life. How cool! #Space #Ichthyology

Healthy aging is much more than just weight loss or lowering blood glucose. It needs resilience to stress. Calorie restriction requires the Immune system to provide that resilience. Very interesting article. https://t.co/MG0aH5PrYw

Another scientist whose work initially didn't get the recognition that it deserved - Victor Ambros was denied tenure at Harvard, even after publishing the seminal work that resulted in him receiving the Nobel Prize today!
BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.
