Online now: The integrated stress response fine-tunes stem cell fate decisions upon serine deprivation and tissue injury
The integrated stress response fine-tunes stem cell fate decisions upon serine deprivation and tissue injury
Novak et al. discover that dietary serine impacts whether hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) prioritize hair growth or skin repair after injury. HFSCs gauge metabolic stress using the ISR and accelerate re-epithelialization while delaying hair regeneration when serine-deprived. These findings suggest new metabolic and pharmacologic strategies to enhance wound repair.

First: I apologize for never coming here and now doing so only to brag 😬
Second: I am very proud of the people in our lab. We are a small group in a Bio department and this work took an enormous amount of effort from every one here.

Cooperative nutrient scavenging is an evolutionary advantage in cancer
Nature - Nutrient-starved tumour cells cooperate by secreting aminopeptidases that digest oligopeptides in the microenvironment, creating a shared pool of free amino acids.

Super proud of my bench mate and her work on differential metabolic dependencies in pediatric rhabdo; now online at @biorxiv-cancer.bsky.social - @katrinaparas.bsky.social who’s going to help me with cloning when you’re gone?!
Thrilled that my thesis work in @lydiafinley.bsky.social's lab is out in the world! We found that methotrexate targets a specific metabolic vulnerability in a particularly aggressive form of pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this project over the years!
