Our new paper officially out today in Blood Advances demonstrates the lung as a source of hemogenic endothelium (HE) capable of undergoing endothelial to hematopoietic transition (EHT) to produce hematopoietic and stem progenitor cells (HSPCs) doi.org/10.1182/blooda…

Very excited to share two papers published today in Cell describing stem cell plasticity in CRC. (1/22) cell.com/cell/fulltext/… cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Loving the Google Doodle today!! Rich Giadone Laertis Ikonomou

Woohoo! Congrats Dr. Berical!

Kind of surreal to share that our manuscript (using organoids and in vivo models to highlight the requirement of Nkx2-1 to maintain progenitor capacity in AEPs) is out in Nature Communications (nature.com/articles/s4146…), summarizing a large amount of my thesis work with William Zacharias.

Happy happy birthday, David Lynch what a guy what good you do in our world I send you peace and love Ringo. 😎✌️🌟❤️🍒🥦🌈🎶☮️

Congrats to newly minted Dr. Taylor Matte on your successful thesis defense today CReM BU GMS BU Pulmonary! and to his proud mentor Finn Hawkins! Wonderful doctoral dissertation work on how the master transcriptional regulator, NKX2-1, regulates lung fates! #itsthecells

An absolute HUGE congratulations to DR. Taylor Matte on a truly stellar thesis defense CReM! We’ve been besties since AP bio through UMass Lowell Biology and Boston U Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine and have been pushing each other ever since. Bonus pic of us winning best science student Dracut High School in 2011!!

Two margaritas deep, I heard a song playing called you can go your own way, and I was like wow they are really singing their ass off. Looked it up it’s two band members breaking up I am in TEARS! YOU CAN GO YOUR OWN WAY 😭😭 watched the live performance. he can’t even look at her

"The danger of this kind of catastrophizing is that it sells too well. As it gains momentum, the voices of doomsayers push aside non-doomsday threats happening now, making them appear trifling. AI hallucinations, displacement of human creative work, misinformation, and privacy

What is the origin of our body? Our paper Cell shows that when a human embryo is one day old and comprises just two cells, only one cell will create most of the fetus in addition to placenta, while the other cell will create placenta. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Still feels surreal, but I graduated! Big shoutout to Finn Hawkins, my CReM family, and Boston U Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine for a transformative six years! #openforpostdocs

I'm incredibly excited to share the cover of my forthcoming book, Where Biology Ends and Bias Begins: Lessons on Belonging from Our DNA. See QT for a 🧵 with more info on the 📕! To be notified when preorders are available, please fill out the form here: forms.gle/pn4GuXbvVpAFwQ…

Please join us in congratulating Andrew who was selected by the 2024 internal medicine residents as the in-patient teacher of the year. Congrats, Andrew!

This just in: Local postdoc wears band t shirt to seem young

Spotted this right outside my apartment. 100% agree with Ben Franklin that the national bird should have been a turkey

We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated and curious PhD student to join us at Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) to study how viral infections lead to pulmonary fibrosis using stem cell models 🫁. More details here: findaphd.com/phds/project/e…
