Congratulations to Nicholas Leeper and collaborators on their exciting work in NEJM providing first human evidence that macrophage inhibition could treat #CVD. Stanford CVI Stanford Stem Cell Stanford Department of Medicine Amanda Chase cvi.stanford.edu/mission/news_c…

Turning #cancer cells into cancer fighters. Ravi Majeti and colleagues transform cancer cells into antigen presenting cells, which effectively teach the adaptive immune system to attack the cancer. Ludwig Cancer Stanford Medicine med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/…

A clever new way to make a cancer vaccines: Majeti Lab transforms #cancer cells into antigen presenting cells, which automatically present cancer antigens to the adaptive immune system. Like using former criminals to catch the criminals still out there. aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…

The Aaron Newman Lab creates a method to map single cell transcriptomes and position at high resolution. med.stanford.edu/stemcell/news/…

In recent years, Aaron Newman Lab has been like Daedalus's workshop for new single-cell analytical tools.

Stanford Ludwig Cancer researchers find a way to flip cancer cells, changing them from bad guys to antigen presenting cells that rat out the cell surface proteins which immune cells should look for to attack the cancer. Stanford Medicine Cancer Discovery med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/…

Nature called this study a "technical tour de force." Congratulations to all.

Very excited to share our new study on precursor lesions in follicular lymphoma #FL, out now in Cancer Discovery #lymsm 1/12 🧵 aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscover…

Big thanks to nature for covering our work on the neural stem cell hierarchy during human brain development! Featuring one of my favorite images from the study, a human astrocyte engrafted in the mouse olfactory bulb. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Clonal hematopoiesis is an expansion of blood stem cell clones caused by mutations in a recurrent set of genes. Our paper on factors mediating expansion of these mutant clones is published today. nature.com/articles/s4158… Thread below...

One of the biggest surprises in studies of clonal hematopoiesis has been how few mutations are in classical oncogenes and tumor suppressors. Instead, the majority of mutations are in "epigenetic" factors. Why? This is a mystery that has perplexed me for >10 years.

Here is my writeup of the powerful methods that Irv Weissman, Daniel Dan Liu and colleagues created to isolate and track the development of human neural stem and progenitor cells. Bravo! med.stanford.edu/stemcell/news/…

Fascinating study out today by Siddhartha Jaiswal showing that, for all the cases in which CHIP seems to lead to bad things, clonal hematopoiesis actually seems to be associated with protection from #Alzheimers. Stanford Medicine nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our stem cell program graduate students are phenoms! @stanfordmed drchuckchan

Fascinating new paper by the Marius Wernig showing microglial manipulation can have positive effects in a mouse model of #Alzheimers

Stanford Ludwig Cancer researcher Laura Attardi finds that p53 may not have always been about cancer, but took on that role after evolving to regulate healing and regeneration.

Take a look at this beautiful and inspiring video profile of Stanford Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine MD/PhD student Quenton Bubb. The whole series is worth watching and will give you a lift. youtube.com/watch?v=gvy3S8…
