🔔 Save the date! Join us for the next IICD Seminar on May 14 at 2 PM ET with @ElaineFuchsLab from @rockefelleruniv and @HHMINEWS. 🔬 Tissue Stem Cells: Coping With Stress and Cancer 📍 In person: Schermerhorn 603 💻 Register 👉 cancerdynamics.columbia.edu/events/iicd-se… cc @columbiacancer

Very happy to see our review out in @NatRevMCB Here we discuss how stem cells exert forces to sculpt tissues in development and homeostasis, and how stem cell mechanics go awry upon malignant transformation. Read it here 👇 nature.com/articles/s4158…

New Online! Shaping epithelial tissues by stem cell mechanics in development and cancer bit.ly/40SWOfs

Our first 2025 paper! We discuss in @NatRevMCB how epithelial stem cells mechanically sculpt tissues, and how these forces are altered in cancer. Great work from our former and current tumor mechanobiology experts Vince Fiore & @almagro_jorge nature.com/articles/s4158…

Research from @ElaineFuchsLab in @Cell_Metabolism shows that low levels of the amino acid serine trigger a process that turns hair follicle stem cells into skin repair specialists—and that diet may have a role to play. #RockefellerScience rockefeller.edu/news/37997-res…

Yearly Fuchs lab picnic 🧺 🌳

New paper alert! We report in @Cell_Metabolism how serine regulates skin stem cell fate. Congratulations to everyone involved! cell.com/cell-metabolis…

Join the #VosshallLab as a postdoctoral scientist! Fully funded position in New York City @RockefellerUniv hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

Fantastic talk by @ElaineFuchsLab on the highly anticipated work on inflammatory memory with aging… congratulations to @SairajSajjath, @chris_cowley14, @LFSoto12 et al #aging #cshl

Rockefeller's @ElaineFuchsLab weighs in on new research showing that human wounds take more than twice as long to heal as wounds of any of the other mammals in the @nytimes: nytimes.com/2025/04/29/sci…

Last week, Rockefeller's @ElaineFuchsLab received the @HopeFunds1 2025 Award of Excellence for her work on stem cells that has advanced understanding of tissue regeneration and inflammatory disorders as well as malignancy and tumor resistance. Congrats! hope-funds.org/events/recent-…

Join us on April 15th to celebrate our 20th Anniversary of the Stem Cell Program at Boston Children’s Hospital. The speakers will include preeminent stem cell scientists from academia and biopharma, as well as prominent investors in the field. onfirstup.com/bostonchildren…

Join us for an exclusive ISID Kitchen episode! Free Registration lnkd.in/eTNaJajg We’re bringing together two leading experts, Rei Watanabe and Elaine Fuchs, to discuss the latest insights on #aging. Don't miss this opportunity! #Dermatology #SKIN

📢 Last chance to register! The 13th SNCC Conference in Banff is approaching—register by Feb 23 to secure your spot! 🔗 event.fourwaves.com/banffsncc2025/… #SNCC2025 #Banff #ScientificConference

Today we celebrate the women of @wiseRockefeller and all #WomenInScience. Happy #InternationalDayOfWomenInScience to all!

Great to hear! 👏🏼 @greatysp @almagro_jorge

Clean up on hair follicle 5! A study by @ElaineFuchsLab showed that stem cells take on a part-time job clearing apoptotic corpses to keep the hair cycle going and tissues fit. Learn how these cells engage phagocytosis at the right time and place: bit.ly/4jkmWXN

Thrilled to announce that two Rockefeller scientists have been named @HHMINEWS Hanna Gray Fellows! Congratulations to @paigearnold2 of the @MarraffiniLab and Jim Castellanos of @ElaineFuchsLab and @WeillCornell on their awards! hhmi.org/news/hhmi-name…

⏳ REMINDER! 🐦 Early Bird Registration Ends Soon (January 22, 2025) @ElaineFuchsLab and Michael Rosen will open the event with a remarkable session. Investigators: $450 Postdoc Scholar or Grad Student: $250 Meal Plan: $350

The @ElaineFuchsLab found that Vitamin A is playing an unexpected role in wound repair: hair follicle stem cells are involved in the healing process in a way mediated by retinoic acid, the active form of Vitamin A. #RockefellerScience #yearinreview bit.ly/3Ds8w7x
