It worked. Stem cells (mesenchymal) given to patients with a large heart attack reduced major adverse events in a randomized trial vs standard care bmj.com/content/391/bm…

Genomic variants in the LDL receptor are the big driver of atherosclerosis, but most were previously unclassified for their impact. Today Science Magazine nearly all 17,000 variants (!) were assessed functionally, which markedly improves the diagnosis for familial high

So true

Several noninvasive methods for the assessment of liver fibrosis have been developed. They can be classified into two distinct but complementary approaches: blood-based methods, which include derived laboratory-based risk scores or biomarkers; and imaging methods, which are based

Are teaching, research, and clinical work mutually exclusive? I’ve found them inseparable. Teaching sharpens thought, research improves patient care, and clinical work gives it purpose. Grateful to Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine for the Teaching Excellence Award and my students who inspire me.
