Huge thanks to Prasoon for building it 🙏
Aging killifish show systemic inflammation and accumulating DNA damage in progenitor-like immune cells, offering a window into the evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of vertebrate immune aging.
Great work from Gabriele, @mdonertas.bsky.social, and the whole team.

Reading through everyone's responses, a few recurring themes emerge: epigenetic clocks and multi-omics have transformed how we measure aging. But translation from model organisms to humans remains hard, and effect sizes that look dramatic in mice often don't hold up in people.
maybe now i can finally learn german - just built a telegram bot that pings me every 30min with random prompts to make me speak, tracks my personal errors & resurfaces them until i get it right 3x, has conversation memory, 16k SRS cards & voice support. Hallo, Welt 🇩🇪 👋
Almost everyone agreed we need better biomarkers and a shift toward prevention rather than treating diseases one by one. Several of us also emphasised the need for longitudinal cohorts and warned against overpromising.
It's a super nice snapshot of where the field stands and where we think it's heading. Thanks to the Nature Aging editors for bringing our perspectives together!
