DNA isn’t destiny. Stem cell identity and function depend on the epitranscriptome, translational control and protein degradation to regulate proteome content, quality & complexity. New review on post-transcriptional control of stem cells in Cell Stem Cell. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


The Robert Signer is hiring Postdocs! Our curious and creative team UC San Diego Health investigates how the proteostasis network is uniquely configured to promote stem cell function and longevity, and encompasses new therapeutic targets in cancer. Info: signerlab.com. Please RT!

The proteostasis network functions uniquely in hematopoietic stem cells to promote their life-long regenerative function. Learn more in our latest review in CO Hematology. journals.lww.com/co-hematology/…


Humbled to be included with these outstanding scientists. Thank you The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research & Allen Institute for supporting our innovative research targeting protein synthesis to treat blood #cancers.







If you can’t take the heat, get out of the culture. Our latest paper in Cell Stem Cell uncovers how HSF1 keeps stem cells fit in a dish. 🔥💪 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S19…


.UC San Diego School of Medicine researchers unlock a way to keep lab-grown stem cells healthy, which is positive news for people who need bone marrow transplants when donor stem cells are not available. The approach may also help further aging research. ow.ly/nSpg50FR4Vi


FREE registration for the Sanford Stem Cell Symposium is now open. Join our incredible lineup of speakers discussing stem cells in regenerative medicine, cancer, aging, bioengineering, genomics 🧬 & space 🚀. Agenda: stemcells.ucsd.edu/sanford-stem-c… Registration: eventbrite.com/e/sanford-stem…

Why is it so difficult to grow hematopoietic stem cells in culture? Huge increases in protein synthesis disrupt proteostasis in HSCs ex vivo. HSF1 comes to the rescue ex vivo & during aging to keep stem cells fit. Our latest now in print Cell Stem Cell cell.com/cell-stem-cell… 🧵
