A thread: an incomplete list of innovations that have increased lifespan/healthspan, in somewhat historical order: 1) Germ theory of disease, leading to pasteurization, boiling and filtration of water, etc. Before this people were drunk all the time because water was dangerous.

Multiple myeloma (MM) – subclonal, and not? After talking to some colleagues, it occurs to me that it’s worthwhile making a clarification about the subclonal nature of MM. What does this mean? A short 🧵 1/x #mmsm

Iron deficiency is highly prevalent worldwide but how it manifests at molecular/cellular levels is poorly understood. The brainchild of @MeganRTeh our new review is a compendium of why cells need iron and what happens when there isn’t enough! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Demis -- I think AlphaFold3 is really exciting. As Reviewer #3, I got great results from the server. I tried hard to get @Nature to urge you to release the code but was unsuccessful. I did not get it for re-review so I don't know if you responded. So why no code? @GoogleDeepMind

Thrilled to announce AlphaFold 3 which can predict the structures and interactions of nearly all of life’s molecules with state-of-the-art accuracy including proteins, DNA and RNA. Biology is a complex dynamical system so modeling interactions is crucial blog.google/technology/ai/go…
