1/2) Preprint alert!
How do embryos know when it’s time to wake up?
To uncover the molecular machinery behind this remarkable decision, we combined single-embryo RNA-seq with cross-species drug screens, revealing how HSP90 links temperature and hormone signaling to break dormancy

Interview with @UriAlonWeizmann on his amazing paper on the “menopause cliff”
New menopause study shows abrupt shifts up to a year before the final menstrual period. Hormone therapy appears to erase much of "the cliff”. What organs were protected and can we use this information to prevent diseases? lifespan.com/blogs/magazine/…

Our breakthrough on the Moore girth problem raises a larger question: when will AI become a great scientist?
In this lecture, I discuss what made this result possible—and why verification remains a fundamental barrier across science.

🌟 Tiny defects, big sensing possibilities! Our new Perspective in Small explores how defects, molecular coatings, and analytes work together to shape carbon nanotube sensing:

Happy to share that I was named one of TIME’s 2026 Longevity Leaders. Our work uses physics-style theory to look for simple principles that can explain the complex dynamics of aging.

We got the cover!!
A 🧵
When DNA damage repair (DDR) fails, it activates the innate immune sensor cGAS. But does this sensor actively exacerbate the disease?
Our new paper reveals a dual role for cGAS in shaping both cellular and organismal responses to genomic instability: tinyurl.com/bdf3m9d4

A cool animation of our cover!!
ON THE COVER: An unbroken generational arc sustains the continuity of life, and is severed in DNA damage repair syndromes.

Identify. Attack. Resolve.
The immune system follows a perfect defense program: ignore weak/self signals, attack true threats with force, then shut down to avoid damage. (1/2)
