Friday 27th March, we had a great 11th Rhineland RNA Club meeting @mpiage.bsky.social with inspiring PhD, postdoc and invited speakers. It's great to see how the community covers a range of topics of all corners of RNA science. Special thanks to @mschosserer.bsky.social & @trentini-lab.bsky.social
Excited to share our new review in Ageing Research Reviews, written with colleagues from the COST Action #NETSKINMODELS 🧴✨
We discuss recent advances in skin aging research and innovative in vitro models that bridge cellular mechanisms and clinical insights.

Kathrin @katleppek.bsky.social and Ina @inahuppertz.bsky.social cordially invite all RNA enthusiasts based in the Rhineland to attend our series of inspiring in-person talks on RNA-related topics, delivered by local and invited speakers.
I’ve started my 6-month stay at @mpiage.bsky.social. It's now my first week here, and I’ve already been impressed by the incredibly friendly, open, and intellectually stimulating scientific environment. Thanks a lot to @inahuppertz.bsky.social, her lab and the institute for being so welcoming!

Spending fascinating days at the GRC "Biology of Aging" in Barga, Tuscany 🇮🇹. If interested in our work on RNA modifications in aging and cellular senescence, make sure to visit the posters of Matthew Clarke (today) and Raúl López Galisteo (tomorrow), and listen to my talk tomorrow afternoon.
Congrats, very cool and exciting research!
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
Recharging my batteries in beautiful South Tyrol for a productive summer in the lab. ☀️🏔️
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

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.

Do you LOVE organelles??
Well I am THRILLED to announce that Nellie has been published in @naturemethods.bsky.social!
Nellie a fully automated pipeline for organelle segmentation, tracking, and hierarchical feature extraction in 2D, 3D, timelapse, multichannel live-cell microscopy

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!

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
Stay tune for more infos!

Yes, please.
New on BioRxiv: We report a new, endogenous molecular clock in unmodified human cells and tissues. It is ticking away right now in almost every cell in your body.

Great news! If you're having trouble receiving strain orders in the EU there's a new European Distribution Hub!

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⬇️
