Congratulations to the authors 4 finally putting this decade-long ❓ to rest. @NatureMedicine We can all sleep better (or worse 😬) tonight, knowing CH causes atherosclerosis & not the other way around. That’s some pretty “determinate” potential, I’d say 😉 TET2> DNMT3A & of course ⬆️ VAF >⬇️ VAF💡 nature.com/articles/s41591-0… #hemepath #leusm

The 10 biggest medical research papers from this week (in my opinion!) 1. The mTOR inhibitor, Rapamycin, extends lifespan in healthy mice, as does the MEK inhibitor, Trametinib Combining both together boosts mice lifespan by ∼30% biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 🧵
