When it comes to aging skin, scientists think deeper than wrinkles. It's an organ with multitudes of microbes, immune cells, structural proteins, and chemical signals that constantly interact with one another. The skin microbiome could also serve as a window into the biology of aging and frailty. 🧪
Skin is our most accessible organ. Could it reveal new clues about aging and frailty?

Type 2 diabetes (or T2D) affects more than 500 million people worldwide. Yet scientists still struggle to explain why the disease develops differently from one person to the next. Our scientists are working to change that. 🧬 🧪
To advance type 2 diabetes research, JAX-NYSCF scientists are making pancreatic organoids at scale
By automating one of biology's most labor-intensive processes, a robotic platform is helping scientists grow and study organoids for diabetes and other complex diseases at unprecedented scale.
