@Sergiu_P_Pasca @theNAMedicine Excellent news - congrats!

[Lorenz @studerl]

Congratulations to Shuibing for her new leadership position as Chair of Molecular & Medical Pharmacology at UCLA.
The Tri-I stem cell community in NYC will miss you - but we are excited for you - and hope to continue collaborating on the next part of your scientific journey.

[Shuibing Chen @ChenShuibing]

After 16 wonderful years @WCMSurgery , I’m deeply honored to share that I will join @UCLAHealth @dgsomucla as Chair of Molecular & Medical Pharmacology in March 2027. Excited for this new chapter of science, innovation, and collaboration!

@Joshua_M_Weiss @CureMelanoma @studerl @MSKCancerCenter Congrats Josh on the MRF Resident Award!!

[Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center @MSKCancerCenter]

Dr. @TabarViviane and Dr. @studerl, physician-scientists at MSK, have developed a treatment for #Parkinson’s disease that involves creating nerve cells from embryonic stem cells and transplanting them into patients. Early results show the treatment is safe and may improve Parkinson’s symptoms.

"This is an important milestone on the road towards regenerative brain repair," says Dr. Tabar. "It represents more than two decades of collaborative work, based on very rigorous science beginning in our labs."

Congrats to @ZeltnerLab on their new paper. Genipin rescues developmental and degenerative defects in familial dysautonomia models and accelerates axon regeneration | Science Translational Medicine https://t.co/vhjSE8Qthf. It was exciting to see this story develop from way back.

[Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center @MSKCancerCenter]

👏 Congratulations to Dr. Deb Schrag, Chair of the @MSK_DeptOfMed, and Dr. @studerl, Director of the Center for Stem Cell Biology at MSK, who were elected to the @theNAMedicine, one of the highest honors bestowed upon scientists worldwide.

Excited to share the latest work from my lab and @em6wong led by @DanielMedinaC12 @tarek10281 @verpetrova.

We developed a new protocol to generate mouse cortical organoids from pluripotent stem cells.

This was a great episode indeed. Congrats to @bigosi and @TabarViviane

[Stem Cell Podcast @stemcellpodcast]

🥇 The top spot goes to Drs. Stefan Irion (@bigosi) and Viviane Tabar (@TabarViviane)! This episode was recorded live at @BlueRockTx and focuses on bemdaneprocel — a stem cell-derived investigational cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease! #InternationalPodcastDay

Congratulations to Dr. Shuibing Chen (@ChenShuibing) on her lab's new @CellStemCell paper!

Her team developed vascularized macrophage-islet #organoids to study damage from infection.

Exciting opportunity for open tenure track positions in Developmental Biology & Stem Cell Biology @MSKCancerCenter (see Ad - https://t.co/BxutHyvFn1). Deadline for applications is October 14, 2024 (https://t.co/8SJujIBPP0)

[Lorenz @studerl]

Great postdoc opportunity if you are interested in developing next gen human PSC based cell therapies for brain repair here at MSK

[Viviane Tabar @TabarViviane]

We have a postdoc opportunity to work on cell therapy for #Parkinson’s disease in a highly collaborative environment @MSKCancerCenter @MSKEducation

Excited to see the work published @Nature. Excellent summary in thread below. Big collaborative effort with @ShenYingZhang1, @casanova_lab + many more. Special thanks to @yihaoo, @ZhiyongLiu7, Paul Bastard and in my lab @NoopurKhobrekar, Param Amin, @gabriele_ciceri & @harschnitz

[Shen-Ying Zhang @ShenYingZhang1]

1) Just out @Nature today! We show that human TMEFF1 is a restriction factor for #Herpes simplex virus 1(HSV1) in the brain, by limiting NECTIN1—HSV1-gD mediated HSV1 entry into cortical neurons. TMEFF1 defect can underlie HSV1 #encephalitis. https://t.co/ESeorkXBGC

[Lorenz @studerl]

Excellent thread from @ShenYingZhang1 on this new collaborative story, and for our lab one of the first studies to test run new hindbrain neuron protocol developed by @harschnitz

[Shen-Ying Zhang @ShenYingZhang1]

(1) We are happy to share our new study, “SARS-CoV-2 brainstem encephalitis in human inherited DBR1 deficiency” @JExpMed! https://t.co/WIRWBLH9RJ. Accumulation of RNA lariats results in impaired antiviral immunity in hPSC-derived hindbrain neurons, underlying encephalitis. https://t.co/UI6M7bwnxt

[Nathalie Saurat @NatSaurat]

Look, it’s the
@studerl
lab past and present at #ISSCR2024. Getting together is another awesome part of attending this conference 🤩

[Lorenz @studerl]

Super excited to see this study finally published after many years of work. Congrats to @NatSaurat for the heroic effort and to all the many amazing collaborators who made this work possible. Also big thanks to our funders particularly the JPB foundation, NIA and @ASAP_Research.

How to trigger age-related features in hPSC neurons? In a CRISPR screen @NatSaurat identified neddylation inhibition as a tool to trigger hallmarks of aging in neurons and selective degeneration in AD or PD but not isogenic control neurons. @cellstemcell https://t.co/vycsfPED6g

Excellent thread from @_SoyeonKoo on the paper (and also her thesis work 😊). Congrats!

[So Yeon Koo @_SoyeonKoo]

Excited to share that my doctoral thesis work is out in @CellCellPress

We investigated a molecular driver to trigger hPSC-derived midbrain dopamine neurons during engraftment in mice.
