Our study shows that hyperoxia drives lung endothelial cells into a non-regenerative state through isoform specific disruption of NTRK2, and that isoform-targeted correction restores vascular regeneration and enables disease modifying lung repair. Grateful to all contributors 🎉

Meet Dr. Mingxia Gu, a @UCLA scientist who uses stem cells to engineer mini versions of human hearts and lungs.
Here, she talks about her mission to reverse aging, how her father inspires her science and the silver lining to living with face blindness.➡️ https://t.co/MKiCkeGO3L

When you read about layoffs & terminations of HHS, NIH, CDC employees - remember: these are people, with families, plans, who worked for the health & safety, of the American people. Now they're thrown by the wayside, by those who never cared about anything but themselves.
