Congrats to Soledad for her study Science Magazine uncovering a surprising role for senescent cells in the stem cell niche. It details a novel tool to isolate senescent cells from tissues that we are happy to share with the research community. UCSF Bakar Aging Research Institute science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

So grateful for Xin Sun (Xin Sun Lab)'s visit to UCSF and her amazing seminar on the functional dissection of the neural circuit of allergic lung reaction. Such innovative approaches to expand the boundaries of lung biology!

SF can seem like an unreal place, especially when we visit a virtual reality zoo for the Peng Lab holiday outing!

Is there a more perfect gift for a soccer-obsessed PI? A soccer ball with lab members faces on it for me to kick! Thank you Peng Lab. #gratitude

Lovely work from Rawlins Lab that demonstrates how to study human tissues for fundamental and mechanistic discoveries. cell.com/cell-stem-cell…

Hope to see you there!

Hhip hits the brakes on lung tissue resident lymphocytes cell.com/immunity/fullt… Grateful to Xin Sun Lab for highlighting Chaoqun's work on a fibroblast-lymphocyte-stem cell axis regulating inflammation and regeneration.

The tree is a beautiful metaphor for lung health. Thank you @molofsky_lab for providing the cover art for our collaborative work Immunity.

Dr. Nabora Reyes de Barboza UC San Francisco (l) and Dr. Denise Al Alam Dr. Denise Al Alam The Lundquist Institute (r) hosting The GRC Power Hour, addressing diversity and inclusion in the scientific workplace, at the 2023 Gordon Research Conference on Lung Development, Injury & Repair GRClung2023.

It was a savage matchup again of the annual lung epithelium vs mesenchyme soccer game GRClung2023. We balanced the teams by EMT and played our hearts out. Thanks to Dr. Warburton for refereeing as he has for the past decade of lung meetings! #workhardplayhard #grclung2023

Grateful for the opportunity to present our work on fibroblast therapeutics GRClung2023. Just kind of wished there was more Chinese food options like Panda Express. #corporate #sponsor #pandaexpressendowedprofessor?

Appreciate International Cell Senescence Association for the opportunity to add nuance to the discussion of whether senescent cells are beneficial or detrimental (IT'S CONTEXT DEPENDENT!). x.com/Fdez_Chrixxus/…

I'm deeply saddened to share that we have lost a remarkable friend, a wonderful mentor and esteemed colleague, Judith Campisi. Judith's impact on those around her was profound and lasting. Her legacy will continue to inspire us all. Rest in peace, Judy. You will be greatly missed

Farewell to Soledad Reyes, our postdoc who is starting her own lab examining senescent cell's role in regeneration UC San Diego. She is an amazing scientist and an even more amazing human being.

Excited to share our latest preprint in collaboration with Lindsay LaFave to define the role of senescent fibroblasts in modifying tumor plasticity, uncovering a unique tumor-stromal interaction that rewires lipid metabolism in aggressive lung cancer. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Beautiful obituary for Leonard Hayflick, who discovered senescence and questioned our quest for immortality. nytimes.com/2024/08/17/sci…
