Our study shows that hyperoxia drives lung endothelial cells into a non-regenerative state through isoform specific disruption of NTRK2, and that isoform-targeted correction restores vascular regeneration and enables disease modifying lung repair. Grateful to all contributors 🎉

What a tour de force paper - everyone should read this one! congrats @MingxiaGu!

@jameszsci Thanks James!!

Join me next week in @vascularbiology's InFocus Session, where I'll be giving a short presentation on my thesis project 'Distinct Functional Consequences of FOXF1 Mutations in Capillary Development'. Registration is free: shorturl.at/T12dx

Meet Dr. Mingxia Gu, a @UCLA scientist who uses stem cells to engineer mini versions of human hearts and lungs. Here, she talks about her mission to reverse aging, how her father inspires her science and the silver lining to living with face blindness.➡️ ucla.in/44GQRn9

I and @kathyolui organize Hematology & Immunology symposium at CUHK. June 10. International speakers @MingxiaGu @CellReproLab @LLizhong many others cover blood origin, cardiac organoid, vascular organoid, next-gen CAR, immunotherapy, immune labOnChip, lineage tracing embryos

Grateful for the chance to talk with Janet Rossant and @MingxiaGu ! In this @stemcellreports podcast episode we touch on the roles of the #vasculature in the #lung and I talk a bit about what comes next! @jlugiessen @HeroldLab @CPI_ExStra @StainierLab

When you read about layoffs & terminations of HHS, NIH, CDC employees - remember: these are people, with families, plans, who worked for the health & safety, of the American people. Now they're thrown by the wayside, by those who never cared about anything but themselves.
