NYU's Shy Shoham will be giving a seminar at HKUMed on 8th July, on the topic of multi-scale patterned optogenetics. All are welcome! See the flyer attached or this link for details: sbms.hku.hk/event/seminar-…

Excited to share our recent work on organoid vascularization, now out in Cell! Grateful to all our amazing collaborators who made this possible! CuSTOM UCLA Broad Stem Cell

T cells don’t act alone. The immune system’s response to cancer depends on multicellular “hubs” — coordinated networks of immune and non-immune cells. Karin Pelka 🦋 @pelkalab.bsky.social (Gladstone Institutes) has been awarded the 2025 AAAS Wachtel Award for uncovering these hubs, and revealing why some tumors

EXCELLENT nature piece by lots of leading scientists on extending human embryo research from 14 to 28 days. Well thought thru & argued! nature.com/articles/d4158… (In 2022 I proposed 28 or 35 days myself but not so well, or prominently: houstonhealthlaw.scholasticahq.com/article/38532-…

🚀 More Local Spaces, More Opportunities! The School of Biomedical Engineering is expanding its reach. Our local intake spaces for the Bachelor of Engineering in Biomedical Engineering has increased to 75! This means more chances for aspiring innovators to join a cutting-edge

Scihub stopped uploading new articles. SciDB is a continuing effort which has the entire scihub collection AND new papers. annas-archive.org/scidb

NR4A2 & RGS16 promoters support delivery of cytokines (e.g. IL-12) directly to the tumor site, leading to enhanced antitumor efficacy and long-term survival of mice in both syngeneic and xenogeneic models nature A/Prof Paul Beavis Amanda Chen Emily Derrick nature.com/articles/s4158…

Delighted to share our new approach to enhance CAR T cell function in solid tumours published today nature. In this work we identify a new strategy to generate armoured CAR T cells. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Excited to share that my PhD work is out in nature today! We engineered armoured CAR T cells to express therapeutic payloads only at the tumour site, to improve their safety and efficacy for the treatment of solid cancers. 1/14 nature.com/articles/s4158…

I read this Cell paper that argues to have discovered a molecule (betaine) that mimics the geroprotective effects of exercise. This is a very valuable multi-omics resource, but the authors seemed to get caught in the rabbit hole of chasing a high-impact narrative🧵

A new call to revise the limit to culture human embryos, currently not allowed beyond 14 days (start of gastrulation) to 28 days nature.com/articles/d4158…. There is a general consensus that this should be the case and I agree to and support this proposal. However…..🧵

Thrilled to share our paper now out in nature that correlates inactivating PPP2R1A somatic mutations with improved survival for patients with cancer receiving immunotherapy, with exciting prelim mechanistic insights! Amir Jazaeri Linghua Wang, MD, PhD Yibo nature.com/articles/s4158…

Yesterday, HKU held a press conference to announce the establishment of the School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME). It not only represents a pivotal step forward for HKU, but also a bold commitment to pioneering cutting-edge biomedical technologies. Read more:
