RE: The Lifespan of Flies Has Been Extended By Promoting Mitochondrial Replication

in #science7 years ago

Just discovered you after a month in the platform... what a treat!!

loved your post on time restricted eating... I know it's an insane amount of work but it'd be great to summarize four/five studies around a specific topic... have you look into cold thermogenesis? it looks very promising!

Sort:  

I have not read on the subject before. I generally write about articles that I read as I peruse the literature. If I come across an article discussing thermogenesis I will for certain talk about it.

I typically try to break down a new piece of work, rather than discuss a topic in detail, though I'm not against the idea of a summary article where I break down a topic using the work of a few articles. The challenge in that case is finding open access materials that allow me to reproduce their figures so I can try to explain them in simpler terms. It's not so bad with one article, but more than one and it's trickier. This is why I try to have a bit of a background section to start the post.

Serendipity, take me along! :)

I was asking because I remember reading cold thermogenesis affects mitophagy and mitogenesis in the same way as sauna does (no surprise since they both activate HSPs)
