I’m looking to raise funds in support of publishing two manuscripts in open-access, peer-reviewed journals by the end of the year:

**1|** [**Methylglyoxal affects translation fidelity**](https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4566939). I complemented my initial experimental data with bioinformatics analysis and am aiming to submit the manuscript to [*Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications*](https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/biochemical-and-biophysical-research-communications) (BBRC) as a short communication. This will be the first DeSci ‼️**experimental paper** ever published in a traditional scientific outlet.

**2|** [**Strengths and weaknesses of longevity biomarkers**](https://doi.org/10.55277/ResearchHub.dxewpyv0). This is a review paper surveying the biomarker landscape to predict life- and healthspan; it had been conceived on the VitaDAO discussion forum and was executed in a decentralized fashion. In case accepted to [*Frontiers in Aging*](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/agingc), it’ll be the first DeSci ‼️**review paper** ever published in a scientific journal.

Besides the publishing efforts—in case you liked what I do—please consider donating to help me continue to work on my projects and stay DeSci for as long as possible.
