An antagonistically pleiotropic gene regulates vertebrate growth, maturity, and lifespan
Great first post by @itamarh.bsky.social 😀
Very happy to contribute to this cool study!
1/6) What if aging begins, in part, as a bargain made in youth? In turquoise killifish, editing vgll3—a gene linked to puberty-timing in humans and salmon—revealed one of the first causal single-gene examples of antagonistic pleiotropy in vertebrate aging 🧵
