Lab mode: OFF. Sports mode: ON! 🔋⚡️

Stepping out of their labs and onto the sports field, professors and students from seven teams shared a good dose of fun and games.

Spring is for moving! 🌿💪

New from Hongkui Deng’s lab: The tumor suppressor p53—long viewed as a cellular reprogramming barrier—surprisingly serves as an essential guardian of chemical reprogramming.
A paradigm shift for safe and controllable cell fate engineering. #PKUResearch #SLSPKU #PKU #Cell https://t.co/AzjJVHotft
