Harnessing single-cell cloning techniques, researchers at UH Biology & Biochemistry Graduate Programs discovered an unusual #StemCell variant that contributes to #IdiopathicPulmonaryFibrosis by recruiting myofibroblasts, but that can also be targeted with EGFR inhibitors. scim.ag/2qp
Congratulations to Michael Dustin who was elected as a Fellow of The Royal Society The Royal Society today for his contribution to immunology research. 🎉 ndorms.ox.ac.uk/news/professor…

Kind of surreal to share that our manuscript (using organoids and in vivo models to highlight the requirement of Nkx2-1 to maintain progenitor capacity in AEPs) is out in Nature Communications (nature.com/articles/s4146…), summarizing a large amount of my thesis work with @DrWillZacharias.
I receive heartbreaking messages like this one that reminds me of why I became a scientist. Government funding for research is the major reason our patients with lung fibrosis have hopes for a cure, so let us do our jobs. Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation #WhoScienceSaves
