Dr. Lili Yang's studies of repurposing common antidepressants offers new hope in the development of novel anti-cancer regimens.

[UCLA Broad Stem Cell @UCLAstemcell]

A UCLA study suggests that common antidepressants could enhance the immune system’s ability to fight #cancer and suppress tumor growth. Repurposing these existing FDA-approved drugs could speed up the process of bringing new cancer treatments to patients. https://t.co/HjwQ5qjw4d

[Thomas Rando @Thomas_Rando]

A landmark publication by @Kohn_Lab @UCLA and the @UCLAstemcell published in @NEJM. Another triumph of basic research leading to life-saving treatments.

[UCLA Broad Stem Cell @UCLAstemcell]

A new study in @NEJM reports that an investigational gene therapy restored immune function in 9 children with LAD-I, a rare & life-threatening immune disorder. Those children are now living symptom-free 2 years after treatment in clinical trials co-led by @Kohn_Lab @UCLA.

[Thomas Rando @Thomas_Rando]

Excited to highlight our latest publication led by senior scientist Di Wu using nanocapsules to orchestrate the temporal delivery of growth factors to promote stem cell-mediated muscle regeneration, with all the challenges of in vivo tissue engineering!

Congratulations Andrew!!! Great news to have @Bracklab at the helm of the aging/longevity arm of ARPA-H. This is only great news for the field!

[Andrew Brack @BrackLab]

Excited to share my new position as a Program Manager @ARPA_H . It’s been an incredible journey in academia at the @CRM and @ucsfmskcenter @UCSFAging where I had the pleasure of working with incredible scientists. I look forward to everything we will achieve in aging/longevity!

[Thomas Rando @Thomas_Rando]

It is a great privilege to serve such a great organization that has done so much to support basic and translational research in #aging and that has been so instrumental in the careers of so many scientists.

@kapahi_pankaj This is such sad news. Judy was a great friend and colleague, an exceptional scientist and mentor. It is a great loss to science. Deepest condolences to all her family and friends around the world, and to her close friends and colleagues at the Buck Institute.

[Thomas Rando @Thomas_Rando]

Great collaboration with colleagues John McCarthy @UKYCMB, Char Peterson, and @KevinMurachPhD to study muscle stem cell dynamics.
