Poster Issues for: 75th Annual Scientific Meeting of the BSRA (2026): The Biology of Ageing - BSRA

I will be presenting a poster at this event:

75th Annual Scientific Meeting of the BSRA (2026): The Biology of Ageing - BSRA

My plan is to bring together various topics that I have been working on since my 2025 poster. This will again involve some reference to this forum.

My primary topic will be the detailed links between acetylation and the splicesome which you can see some details of in my presentation to maglab at Birmingham University.

I also want to make reference to iron metabolism and the interesting questions that have been discussed on the topic about iron metabolism etc.

Iron: an underrated factor in aging

Your values fluctuate surprisingly much. I don’t have data on what typical fluctuations are but mine appear to fluctuate far less and normally they shouldn’t move fast unless you just had an episode of something that caused acute inflammation.

(also lactoferrin)

I am thinking about what else to work on.

These are produced by chatGPT, gemini and claude. I think chatGPT is best, then gemini. Claude is not really in the running.

These are really complex issues that require the synthesis of some really complex information and I think the LLMs do a good job of bringing it together.

Although I prefer the chatGPT infographics, the appearance of workmen with HAT on their hats is good. HAT=Histone Acetyl Transferase.

Gemini was a bit sad here as the acetate pathway does not come from the mitochondria. However,

I thought I would get one for mTOR
