Looking forward to hearing from @Thomas_Rando @UCLAstemcell, Gordana-Vunjak-Novakovic @GVNlab @Columbia & Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte @altos_labs in our session “Aging and rejuvenation” @CellSymposia #CSStemCells2025. Abstracts due: July 18! hubs.li/Q03xf3Wh0
Experience a #DayInTheLife of @UCLAstemcell trainee Mary Doan, a @UCLA PhD candidate working to uncover therapeutic targets to manipulate metabolism in both health and disease in the lab of Dr. Michael Teitell @TeitellLab. 🍵👩🏻🔬🏞️ Credit: Joseph Doan
A new UCLA study may explain why some liver tumors return after heat-based treatment. Researchers found that a protein, Galectin-1, helps cancer cells survive and regrow. Blocking it could make therapy more effective and reduce recurrence. Read more: bit.ly/4lLvQhh
