We’re delighted to welcome Future Science Prize 2024 winner Hongkui Deng @pku1898.bsky.social to the speaker lineup at the upcoming @CellSymposia #CSStemCells2025. Submit an abstract for a chance to join him in LA in November! http://dlvr.it/TLn6XX
I am excited to share a lab publication, led by former postdoctoral fellows Daniel Benjamin and Jengmin Kang, examining how quiescent stem cells allocate resources for survival over function during aging and revealing a survivorship bias in the study of cell aging.

A new twist for SSRIs - potential role as adjuncts for cancer therapy thanks to the pioneering work of Dr. Lili Yang.
Another life-saving treatment from Dr. Donald Kohn's group at UCLA and collaborators. Congratulations to the incredible team of investigators. Another milestone for the miracles of cell and gene therapy.
I am excited to share a recent publication from the lab, spearheaded by senior scientist Di Wu, using a bioinstructive nanocapsules to orchestrate the temporal delivery of growth factors in order to promote stem cell-mediated tissue engineering in vivo.

Aging is characterized by a decline in the ability of tissue repair and regeneration after injury. In skeletal muscle, this decline is largely driven by impaired function of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) ...
Aging disrupts core functions of somatic stem cells throughout the body, leading to
impaired tissue maintenance and repair. We identify five key features of aged stem
cells, highlighting how their dys...

A UCLA study suggests that common antidepressants could enhance the immune system’s ability to fight #cancer and suppress tumor growth. Repurposing these existing FDA-approved drugs could speed up the process of bringing new cancer treatments to patients. stemcell.ucla.edu/news/common-...
A new study in @nejm.org reports that an investigational gene therapy restored immune function in 9 children with LAD-I, a rare & life-threatening immune disorder. Those children are now living symptom-free 2 years after treatment in clinical trials co-led by Dr. Donald Kohn at UCLA.
