Overview

Colin Selman is affiliated with the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with significant work also contributed to medicine. The scientist's work spans several subfields, including molecular biology, physiology, aging, pediatrics, perinatology, child health, and endocrine and autonomic systems.

The research topics covered by Selman include genetics, aging, and longevity in model organisms; dietary effects on health; RNA research and splicing; adipose tissue and metabolism; mitochondrial function and pathology; birth, development, and health; and circadian rhythm and melatonin.

Recent publications provide insight into the areas of interest and investigation. These include:

  • The parasitic worm product ES-62 promotes health- and life-span in a high calorie diet-accelerated mouse model of ageing (2020, PLoS Pathogens)
  • Growth acceleration results in faster telomere shortening later in life (2021, Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences)
  • RNA Polymerase III, Ageing and Longevity (2021, Frontiers in Genetics)
  • The hepatic compensatory response to elevated systemic sulfide promotes diabetes (2021, Cell Reports)
  • Measurement of mitochondrial respiration in permeabilized fish gills (2020, Journal of Experimental Biology)

Selman frequently collaborates with several researchers in their field, including Jennifer M. A. Tullet, Nazif Alic, Yasir Malik, Gillian Borland, and Stephen E. Wilkie. These frequent coauthors have contributed to a body of work often published together or complementing each other's research efforts.

The frequent venues for their publications include Aging Cell, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Frontiers in Genetics, GeroScience, and Frontiers in Immunology. These journals represent platforms emphasizing aging, genetics, and broader life sciences topics.
