Very excited to share our new paper in @FrontImmunol: Extracellular Vesicles From Kidney Allografts Express miR-218-5p and Alter Th17/Treg Ratios

Stem cells for cardiac regeneration are great and all but how about we forget about all of that and look into the extracellular vesicles released from them instead: the so-called "paracrine effect". My latest meta addresses this and some of the limitations of this method.

[Kashif Khan @KashifK_]

Are stem cells directly involved in cardiac regeneration? Or is it what they secrete? My recent paper highlights some mechanisms by which stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles promote cardiac repair after MI. @AliKRutman @DerishIda

@THebertMcGill Thank you Terry!

[Kashif Khan @KashifK_]

@HaroonMunir_ Thanks Haroon!

[Kashif Khan @KashifK_]

Should we still be using stem cells alone to regenerate hearts after a heart attack?
My recent paper sheds light on the use of bioactive scaffolds to support the growth and maturation of stem cells in the infarcted cardiac microenvironment.

@saman_arfaie Thanks Saman!

[Kashif Khan @KashifK_]

@HaroonMunir_ @CJCJournals @FrailtyMD Congrats!!

[Kashif Khan @KashifK_]

@surashrishinde @NatureComms Wow congrats!!! Amazing news!

[Kashif Khan @KashifK_]

@THebertMcGill I might have an idea 🫀

[Kashif Khan @KashifK_]

@redsnapperpath @vhnguyenmd @BretKenny Would love to learn more about your work!

[Kashif Khan @KashifK_]

Great chatting with @vhnguyenmd today on virtual histological staining! Need to ensure that we aren't sacrificing accuracy when creating new methods. Anyone else in the Twitterverse interested in virtual staining?? #artificialIntelligence #clinicalpathology

[Kashif Khan @KashifK_]

Judging some of the posters at the #TMM2020 this evening! Saw some incredible work ranging from repopulating decellularized kidneys with iPSCs to identifying epigenetic regulators of satellite cell homeostasis. Good luck to everyone!

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

In their natural form, the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors recognise DNA from viruses, but Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna – awarded this year’s #NobelPrize in Chemistry – proved that they could be controlled so that they can cut any DNA molecule at a predetermined site.

@vhnguyenmd @DrSherifEmil @DrPuligandla @HopitalChildren Thanks!! I was motivated by your speech in small group :)

[MedTech Innovator @MedTechAwards]

Congratulations to @rhaeos the winner of #MedTechInnovator2020 and recipient of the $350k grand prize! Great job to all our finalists, and thanks to all the @MedTechCon attendees who voted!

[Loyal Goff @loyalgoff]

Apparently co-last author still doesn’t mean equal contribution in science. It’s 2020, and we’re still not allowed to do science as an effective team w/o repercussions.

[Libin Cardiovascular Institute @LibinInstitute]

These five trainees are each taking home $4,000 Scholarships from the inaugural Libin International Trainee Symposium: Research is Better with Sex and Gender! Congrats on your winning cardio research projects. #LibinITS

[Kashif Khan @KashifK_]

In Banff this week at the @LibinInstitute for the Research is better with Sex sand Gender International Trainee Symposium! There truly is a lot of work to be done in this dynamic field! #LibinITS
