Buck was thrilled to participate again this year at @BayAreaSciFest in Santa Rosa, CA last Sunday as a Hosting Sponsor and exhibitor. We love sharing our science with aspiring young scientists! We had so much fun!!

Snag in normal process of cleaning up broken DNA in brain cells may hasten progression of #Parkinsons. Researchers @HopkinsMedicine found protein “Sting” creates a cycle of inflammation when it responds to clean-up signals in cells already damaged by PD https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/953355

Great work from the Zhou lab! Buck researchers have uncovered clues as to how aging starts to happen in #mitochondria, opening a completely different way to think about, measure, mitigate and reverse the process. Study is in @eLife https://www.buckinstitute.org/news/buck-scientist-uncovers-clues-to-aging-in-mitochondria/
