NEW PAPER

Out in Science Advances: We have dissected the physiological role of all macroH2A histone variants. In mice, loss of macroH2A1.1 specifically results in profound metabolic reprogramming and kidney pathology.

New review from our group!

We explore the multifaceted roles of folliculostellate (FS) cells in the pituitary gland — from immune-endocrine regulation to their paradoxical effects on tumorigenesis and aging.

Did you know that the pituitary contains non-endocrine folliculostellate cells 🌟 (FS) that sense immune signals, regulate hormones, and influence tumorigenesis and inflammaging?
Excited to share our new review on the roles of FS cells⭐

Yesterday, with a record of 100 students taking the final exam, I said goodbye to the Teaching Physiology Dept at UBA, my academic home for 11 years,from my undergraduate studies to my PhD. I'm grateful to the mentors, colleagues,and students who shaped my journey. Thank you for being a second home.

#ICSAPaperOfTheMonth Breast cancer cells resist chemotherapy by entering a transient senescent state and evading immune detection. Instead of dying, they persist and can later escape senescence to drive relapse. Disrupting this cycle could lead to new treatment strategies.
