The Age of Instagram Face
From 2019: How social media, FaceTune, and plastic surgery created a single, cyborgian look.

In pursuit of 'Instagram face,' are we losing the imperfections that make us human?
Plastic surgery is becoming so normalized and undetectable, it's changing our relationship to reality. The New Yorker staff writer Jia Tolentino considers how beauty standards have dovetailed with AI.

I commented on @PubPeer@mastodon.social on "Advances in nanomaterial-mediated CRISPR/Cas delivery: from lipid nanoparticles to vesicle-derived systems" https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2025.1669104, that got published today. I don't do this often, and even hesitant to post here. But I have some questions: https://www.pubpeer.com/publications/E18F253C8EB7B947220AFDB4F608FC#1 I welcome if other people can also have a look. I did some journal editing yesterday, and that makes me sometimes more critical than I need to be.
The human ovary exhibits dynamic molecular remodeling in the decades post-menopause
The human ovary is among the first organs to show age-related functional decline, resulting in menopause. Beyond this transition, the postmenopausal ovary is often regarded as quiescent and remains poorly characterized.

Related: men underrate how much cognitive labor goes into skincare and how sophisticated women are about it. Getting into skincare (identifying unwanted skin conditions and fixing them) is one of the best ways to train empirical science skills. It's a practical science.… https://t.co/CMGPnzXDeB— toucan (@distributionat) September 15, 2025

Montmorency tart cherry protects against age-related bone loss in female C57BL/6 mice and demonstrates some anabolic effects
Age-related bone loss is a consequence of endocrine and immune changes that disrupt bone remodeling. Functional foods (e.g., tart cherries) with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and prebiotic activity can potentially counter this age-related phenomenon. The aim of this study was to determine if Montmorency tart cherry protects against early age-related bone loss and the culpable alterations in bone metabolism.

Spatial Reorganization of Chromatin Architecture Shapes the Expression Phenotype of Therapy‐Induced Senescent Cells
In the course of TIS, cells undergo a profound epigenomic reorganization that underlies the development of a senescence-associated phenotype and formation of an inflammatory microenvironment.

Any experts on retinal arteries in rats here, please? Some images in PMID: 30695730 look unexpectedly similar to me. The author claims these arteries are expected to look so similar. What do you think? pubpeer.com/publications/878202C68F72B479…
