Vaughan lab trainees kicking ass GRC in Lung Development, Injury and Repair 2019 Aaron Weiner

New one from the Vaughan lab! nature.com/articles/s4153… Aaron Weiner

Really thrilled Penn Today chose to feature our new paper! penntoday.upenn.edu/news/penn-stud…

My boss is famous

We are sad to announce the passing of our dear colleague and former IRM Director John Gearhart. John's groundbreaking isolation of human pluripotent stem cells and relentless advocacy for stem cell research funding made him one of the best champions our field could ever have.

A perspective on how miserable the US has managed COVID: My visiting scholar Gan Zhao is defending his thesis remotely for his home university in Wuhan. The other defendees in Wuhan are hanging out in a room with 8-10 people, eating food. It’s clearly under control there.

Here's our preprint on human lung progenitor cell orthotopic xenotransplantation. I think this will be useful for a lot of folks. I had hoped for this to be a bit more mature before release but in light of other groups with similiar ideas... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So strange: our lab ordered several dead cats but only ended up with 50mL conical tubes???

Excited to share our preprint on microstructured hydrogels for lung alveolar organoids. Great collaboration with Andy Vaughan also on bluesky @WestPhillyTough BurdickLab & Ed Morrisey to characterize Matrigel-free iPSC and primary alveolar organoids in vitro & in vivo, 1/2 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

My fiancée Julia MacDougall’s favorite gene is Epcam… never heard anything more basic in my whole life

Absolutely thrilled to share Aaron Weiner's thesis work from my lab, out now in Cell Reports! In short, loss of the transcription factor p63 increases the ability of basal cells to transdifferentiate into alveolar cells. (1/2) cell.com/cell-reports/f…

New research in Cell Reports led by #PennVet’s Andrew Vaughan, PhD, and Aaron Weiner, PhD candidate, identifies a factor responsible for improper tissue regrowth after #respiratoryinfection, pointing to a possible therapeutic target. Read More: bit.ly/3PrmF6I
