Congratulations to Cynthia Siebrand, one of our 2024 Early Career Scholars! Cynthia is a PhD student in the lab of Julie K Andersen Buck Institute USC Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, working to develop combinatorial therapies for #Alzheimers . #AGEScholars #AGETC #AGE2024 #WomeninSTEM

A pleasure to host Holly Brown-Borg from the University of North Dakota today! Thank you for sharing your fantastic work!

It’s not easy achieving optimal #vitaminD levels across diverse populations. Trinity College Dublin is challenging standard one-size-fits-all approach to vitamin D supplementation guidelines, saying age, sex, and BMI significantly influence how we respond to sunlight clinicalnutritionjournal.com/article/S0261-…

Always wonderful to see a Buck alum thrive. Congrats Suzanne! Angeli Lab

Study in SfN Journals: #Superagers have less brain atrophy than their peers do, as well as better connectivity between regions of the #brain involved in #cognition . Researchers still searching for the resistance mechanisms behind the lucky predisposition. jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Do we have jump start in dealing with #osteoarthritis ? Researchers at Duke Health have blood test that finds knee osteoarthritis up to 8 years before it appears on x-rays. Early detection and therapies could restore joint health. More hiking. Less pain science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Timing matters when taking drugs. Study in Science Advances shows #circadian variations in #liver function play an important role in how drugs are broken down. EX: toxic byproduct of Tylenol can vary by up to 50%, depending on when you swallow the pill science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

What’s on your plate? New research in nature shows link between dietary choices and #brainhealth . A balanced #diet was associated with better #mentalhealth , superior cognitive function and higher amounts of grey matter (linked to intelligence) in brain nature.com/articles/s4422…

It is with great excitement that we announce Dr. Nir Barzilai as the newly appointed President of the Academy for Health and Lifespan Research.

Please join us in congratulating Nir Barzilai on his new role!

Your hypothalamus probably has lot to do with how you age. Our latest blog delves into small, but incredibly active structure that lives deep in our brain and covers research in Webb Lab @ The Buck Institute focused on understanding why it becomes less sensitive with age buckinstitute.org/blog/meet-your…

Another great #BSAS hosted by the Buck Institute students. Every year it gets better! Just came across this picture of the first BSAS committee. Awesome to see how BSAS has grown from a dream the 5 of us had back in 2016 into the most celebrated day on the Buck calendar!

Exciting study in Nature Aging. The first cell atlas of #aging human #muscle shows the intricate genetic and cellular processes behind muscle deterioration and (good news) mechanisms we use to counteract it. nature.com/articles/s4358…

I presented my journey in wrestling and science to 2nd graders at San Miguel Elementary 📚💡Their faces lit up with excitement and I could’ve spent hours answering their questions

An interesting, fun, rewarding scicomms challenge as I usually present to adults

Facing surgery? You might want to skip fries prior to going under. Study in rats in BrainBehavImm suggests eating fatty foods in days leading up to surgery may set off an inflammatory response in the brain that can impair memory in older adults for weeks zurl.co/4HuS
