Please to share my first paper on calorie restriction (intermittent fasting; IF) with new collaborator Thirum Arumugam. We show that the metabolic benefits of IF can be inherited. #calorierestriction #epigenetics #intermittentfasting.

Cancer cells interact with neurons in a two-way dance that drives tumorigenicity and neuronal dysfunction @michelle_monje but it’s also an ecosystem involving astrocytes @c_eroglu and microglia @stevens1lab. Challenge, turning this into effective therapies @NeuroOnc.
