Our lab hosts a few select UCLA #undergraduates as #interns. One of our stellar interns, working with #postdoc Junlang Li, just presented her work at the Undergraduate Research & Creativity Showcase— #EVs from #iPSCs— check it out!

Great #Breakout #Session at Cedars Sinai Faculty Retreat #NewTherapies from #Concept to #Clinic
Fantastic panel ➡️ Dr. Eduardo Marban @eduardomarban.bsky.social describing his pathway to #clinic #CDCs followed by Dr. Anand Karumanchi going over his experiences towards #translation #regulatorypathways

Brilliant @smidtheart.bsky.social research seminar by Rajan Sah MD PhD of Washington University on SWELL channels and their role in #platelet #thrombosis. Big implications for therapeutics of #MI and #stroke.

Provocative @smidtheart.bsky.social #cardiology grand rounds by Rita Redberg who highlights the low bar set for @fda.gov approval of medical devices. Hard clinical endpoints in adequately powered trials sorely lacking. No wonder investors prefer devices over drugs or novel biological therapies!

Inspiring start to Cedars Sinai’s academic retreat by Shlomo Melmed, MD, who emphasizes how our unique structure enables progress towards science-based clinical innovation.

New discoveries abound in @ahmedgibrahim.bsky.social as evidenced today by #labmeeting on #EVs and #ncRNAs from genetically engineered #fibroblasts that pulled a Jekyll and Hyde, becoming salutary post- #MI. Great work of Hiroaki Komuro!

Check out the in-press preview of our @jclinicalinvest paper on regulatory #Tcells — we discovered a #ncRNA that can enhance #Treg dynamics fast enough to improve #MI healing in vivo. New hope for refractory inflammatory and immune conditions?

@russellrogers.bsky.social discussed experiments w/Lefer Lab taking advantage of the mechanistic differences between #GLP1RA & #ncRNA #TY1 as therapeutics for #HFpEF. Compelling evidence for synergistic benefits in two rodent models! Potential for less skeletal muscle loss?
